SLC7A11 is an unconventional H+ transporter in lysosomes
{{output}}
Lysosomes maintain an acidic pH of 4.5-5.0, optimal for macromolecular degradation. Whereas proton influx is produced by a V-type H+ ATPase, proton efflux is mediated by a fast H+ leak through TMEM175 channels, as well as an unidentified slow pathway. A candid... ...
