Pharmacology of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger.
KB-R7943 inhibits the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger in an independent manner or in a manner dependent on the direction of the current. This effect may be due to the experimental protocols bawed on the competition between the drug and external substrate ions. Some antiarrhythmic drugs inhibit NCX. A new column of NCX was added in Sicilian Gambit.
