What Does NHE Stand For?
NHE stands for Na H Exchanger
NHE, or Na H Exchanger, refers to a type of protein found in cell membranes that facilitates the exchange of sodium (Na ) ions for hydrogen (H ) ions across the membrane. This process is crucial for maintaining ion balance, regulating pH levels, and influencing cellular homeostasis in various physiological contexts. NHE is significant in multiple biological systems, including the kidneys, heart, and neurons, contributing to processes such as acid-base regulation, fluid balance, and cellular signaling.
