NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the calcium/cation antiporter superfamily of transport proteins. The encoded protein belongs to the SLC24 branch of exchangers, which can mediate the extrusion of one Ca2+ ion and one K+ ion in exchange for four Na+ ions. This family member is a retinal cone/brain exchanger that can mediate a light-induced decrease in free Ca2+ concentration. This protein may also play a neuroprotective role during ischemic brain injury. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
Uniprot Description
SLC24A2: Critical component of the visual transduction cascade, controlling the calcium concentration of outer segments during light and darkness. Light causes a rapid lowering of cytosolic free calcium in the outer segment of both retinal rod and cone photoreceptors and the light-induced lowering of calcium is caused by extrusion via this protein which plays a key role in the process of light adaptation. Transports 1 Ca(2+) and 1 K(+) in exchange for 4 Na(+). Belongs to the sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger family. SLC24A subfamily. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Guinea Pig SLC24A2 slc24a2 (Catalog #AAA7240716) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7240716 ELISA Kit recognizes Guinea Pig SLC24A2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 2 (SLC24A2), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
