The vacuolar [Na.sup.+]/[H.sup.+] antiporters ([Na.sup.+]/[H.sup.+] exchangers, NHXs) can actively transport excessive [Na.sup.+] into the vacuole for [Na.sup.+] compartmentation, while the plasma membrane-located [Na.sup.+]/[H.sup.+] antiporters are responsible for [Na.sup.+] exclusion from the cytosol to the external medium [12,13].
