Abstract excerpt
Slc26 anion transporters play crucial roles in transepithelial Cl(-) absorption and HCO(3)(-) secretion; Slc26 protein mutations lead to several diseases. Slc26a9 functions as a Cl(-) channel and electrogenic Cl(-)--HCO(3)(-) exchanger, and can interact with cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. Slc26a9(-/-) mice have reduced gastric acid secretion, yet no human disease is currently associated with...
