Abstract excerpt
Activity of the AE2/SLC4A2 anion exchanger is modulated acutely by pH, influencing the transporter's role in regulation of intracellular pH (pH(i)) and epithelial solute transport. In Xenopus oocytes, heterologous AE2-mediated Cl(-)/Cl(-) and Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange are inhibited by acid pH(i) or extracellular pH (pH(o)). We have investigated the importance to pH sensitivity of the eight histidine (His) residues...
