title: ALK-mediated Na+/H+ exchanger-dependent intracellular alkalinization: does it matter for oncogenesis?
abstract: In this study we investigated the relevance of the oncogenic protein NPM-ALK in regulating cellular pH (pHi) through the modulation of Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1)-activity and the consequences of pHi pharmacological manipulation in cells expressing NPM-ALK.
