Amino Acids 785, 787 of the Na<sup>+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup> Exchanger Cytoplasmic Tail Modulate Protein Activity and Tail Conformation

The mammalian Na<sup>+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup> exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a plasma membrane protein ubiquitously present in humans. It regulates intracellular pH by removing an intracellular proton in exchange for an extracellular sodium. It consists of a 500 amino acid membra...
