    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text
  • co-localized with APP in synaptic terminals
  • basic FUNCTION
  • rapid transport of Ca2+ during excitation contraction, preventing overloading of intracelular stores
  • play a crucial role in ionic regulation because they are the major bidirectional system promoting the efflux and influx of Na(+) and Ca(2+) ions (Formisano 2008)
