Abstract
The sodium-hydrogen exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane transporter protein involved in regulating intracellular pH and interacts with a variety of proteins involved in cell signaling, proliferation, and cell motility. The protein has an extended cytosolic tail known as the regulatory region. This project investigates the role of palmitoylation, a reversible fatty acid modification on cysteine amino acids, in the function and behavior of NHE1.
