Gene:
solute carrier family 4, sodium bicarbonate cotransporter, member 5
Gene ID:
202473
Symbol:
SLC4A5
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) family, part of the bicarbonate transporter superfamily. Sodium bicarbonate cotransporters are involved in intracellular pH regulation and electroneural or electrogenic sodium bicarbonate transport. This protein is thought to be an integral membrane protein. The gene expresses at least four alternatively spliced transcript variants.
