Roles of Endomembrane Alkali Cation/Proton Exchangers in Synaptic Function and Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Endomembrane alkali cation (Na+, K+)/proton (H+) exchangers (eNHEs) are increasingly associated with neurological disorders. These eNHEs play integral roles in regulating the luminal pH, processing, and trafficking of cargo along the secretory (Golgi and post-Golgi vesicles) and endocytic (early, re...

description Endomembrane alkali cation (Na+, K+)/proton (H+) exchangers (eNHEs) are increasingly associated with neurological disorders. These eNHEs play integral roles in regulating the luminal pH, processing, and trafficking of cargo along the secretory (Golgi and post-Golgi vesicles) and endocytic (early, recycling, and late endosomes) pathways, essential regulatory processes vital for neuronal development and plasticity. Given the complex morphology and compartmentalization of multipolar neurons, the contribution of eNHEs in maintaining optimal pH homeostasis and cargo trafficking is especially significant during periods of structural and functional development and remodeling. While the importance of eNHEs has been demonstrated in a variety of non-neuronal cell types, their involvement in neuronal function is less well understood. In this review, we will discuss their emerging roles in excitatory synaptic function, particularly as it pertains to cellular learning and remodeling. We will also explore their connections to neurodevelopmental conditions, including intellectual disability, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders.
