Abstract excerpt
Anion exchanger 1 (AE1 or band 3), encoded by the AE1 or SLC4A1 gene, regulates chloride-bicarbonate exchange in erythrocytes and alpha-intercalated cells of the distal nephron. Defects of AE1 at the basolateral membrane of alpha-intercalated cells may result in the failure of hydrogen ion secretion at the apical membrane, leading to distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). Abnormalities of the AE1 gene were...
