A recent in vitro documented study3, using BHK cells that mimic AD, findings indicate the NCX3 neuroprotective effect as confirmed through decreased cell death in NCX3 stably transfected cells (BHK-NCX3) compared to their wild types (BHK-WT), a further correlation between NCX3 and the neuronal death. Here, SLC8A3 is linked to Alzheimer disease.
