Gene:
solute carrier family 12 (potassium/chloride transporters), member 7
Gene ID:
192414
Symbol:
SLC12A7
Species:
1000
Description:
Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May mediate K(+) uptake into Deiters' cells in the cochlea and contribute to K+ recycling in the inner ear. Important for the survival of cochlear outer and inner hair cells and the maintenance of the organ of Corti. May be required for basolateral Cl(-) extrusion in the kidney and contribute to renal acidification (By similarity).
