FAMILY

SLC26A/SulP transporter (TC 2.A.53) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as S26A9_HUMAN, SLC26A9. DIDS- and thiosulfate- sensitive anion exchanger mediating chloride, sulfate and oxalate transport (PubMed:11834742). Mediates chloride/bicarbonate exchange or chloride-independent bicarbonate extrusion thus assuring bicarbonate secretion (PubMed:15800055). May prefer chloride anions and mediate uncoupled chloride anion transport in an alternate-access mechanism where a saturable binding site is alternately exposed to either one or the other side of the membrane (By similarity). May form homodimers (in vitro).
