Abstract excerpt
SLC4A2 belongs to the Na+-independent solute carrier family 4 (SLC4) of anion exchangers, which regulate electroneutral exchange of Cl- for HCO3- and mediate intra- and extra-cellular pH, chloride concentration and cell volume. Slc4a2 also participates in gastric acid secretion, spermatogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. During osteoclast differentiation, Slc4a2 is exclusively expressed at the contra-lacunar...
