The effects of NCX1 positive mode in the digestive system. Under normal circumstances, NCX1 adopts the positive mode in esophageal smooth muscle and gastric smooth muscle, excreting Ca2+ from the cells, reducing intracalcium concentration and inducing smooth muscle relaxation. In the jejunum, vitamin D and 1,25-(OH)2D3 can enhance the expression and activity of NCX1 to increase the excretion of Ca2+. NCX1 mainly adopts the forward control mode in ischemic-reperfusion injury. Trisulfated disaccharide (TD) can transport excess intracellular Ca2+ out of the cell by activating NCX1.
