SLC4A11 solute carrier family 4 member 11

Gene ID: 83959, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BTR1; CHED; CDPD1; CHED2; NABC1; dJ794I6.2

Summary

This gene encodes a voltage-regulated, electrogenic sodium-coupled borate cotransporter that is essential for borate homeostasis, cell growth and cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a number of endothelial corneal dystrophies including recessive corneal endothelial dystrophy 2, corneal dystrophy and perceptive deafness, and Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
