The sodium-calcium exchange system.
Sodium-calcium counter-transport represents one of a number of processes for transporting calcium ions across cellular membranes. The physiological importance of the exchanger is outlined and its underlying mechanism discussed in terms of a comparison of the partial reactions of Na+-Ca2+ exchange in intact cells with those of plasma membrane vesicles.
