Abstract excerpt
The Na/HCO3 cotransporter NBCe1 is a member of SLC4A transporters that move HCO3- across cell membranes and regulate intracellular pH or transepithelial HCO3 transport. NBCe1 is highly selective to HCO3- and does not transport other anions; the molecular mechanism of anion selectivity is presently unclear. We previously reported that replacing Asp555 with a Glu (D555E) in NBCe1 induces increased selectivity to...
