Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a Novel (Na+,K+)/H+ Exchanger Localized to the trans-Golgi Network
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The luminal pH of organelles along the secretory and endocytic pathways of mammalian cells is acidic and tightly regulated, with the [H+] varying up to 100-fold between compartments. Steady-state organellar pH is thought to reflect a balance between the rates of H+ pumping by the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase and H+ efflux through ill-defined pathways. Here, we describe the cloning of a novel gene (NHE7) in humans that is homologous to Na+/H+ exchangers, is ubiquitously expressed, and localizes predominantly to the trans-Golgi network. Significantly, NHE7 mediates the influx of Na+ or K+ in exchange for H+. The activity of NHE7 was also found to be relatively insensitive to inhibition by amiloride but could be antagonized by the analogue benzamil and the unrelated compound quinine. Thus, NHE7 displays unique functional and pharmacological properties and may play an important role in maintaining cation homeostasis of this important organelle.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
