NCLX catalyzes the exchange of 3-4 sodium ions from the intermembrane space for 1 calcium ion from the mitochondrial matrix (Palty et al. 2010, De Marchi et al. 2014). As a result, NCLX causes an efflux of calcium from the mitochondrial matrix and thereby attenuates calcium regulation of enzymatic activity within the mitochondrial matrix.
