UniProt Comments
Involved in trafficking to the vacuole. Required for cell proliferation and cell expansion, but not for cell differentiation. Acts in low affinity electroneutral exchange of protons for cations such as Na+ or K+ across membranes. May also exchange Li+ and Cs+ with a lower affinity.
