Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable calcium:sodium antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium ion import across plasma membrane and sodium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in axon; postsynapse; and sarcolemma. Expressed in AIYL and AIYR. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and pulmonary hypertension. Is an ortholog of human SLC8A1 (solute carrier family 8 member A1) and SLC8A2 (solute carrier family 8 member A2).
