    REGULATION
    inhibited by glucocorticoids which inhibit SLC9A8 gene expression by increasing PAX5 binding on SLC9A8 gene promoter, suggesting an important role for PAX5 during intestinal maturation (Xu 2010)
    thyroid hormone (plays a potential role in the developmental isoform change from SLC9A8 to SLC9A3 and decreases SLC9A8 activity (Gattineni 2008)
    repressed by EGF (EGF inhibits SLC9A8 gene expression through reducing its basal transcription, suggesting an important role of EGF in regulating NHE expression during intestinal maturation) (Xu 2010)
