SLC4A4 solute carrier family 4 member 4

Gene ID: 8671, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: KNBC; NBC1; NBC2; pNBC; HNBC1; NBCe1; hhNMC; kNBC1; SLC4A5; NBCe1-A

Summary

This gene encodes a sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) involved in the regulation of bicarbonate secretion and absorption and intracellular pH. Mutations in this gene are associated with proximal renal tubular acidosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
