SLC26A9 solute carrier family 26 member 9 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]

Symbol: SLC26A9
Full name: solute carrier family 26 member 9
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Summary: This gene is one member of a family of sulfate/anion transporter genes. Family members are well conserved in their genomic (number and size of exons) and protein (aa length among species) structures yet have markedly different tissue expression patterns. The product of this gene is a highly selective chloride ion channel regulated by WNK kinases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding differing isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
Expression: Biased expression in salivary gland (RPKM 19.0), stomach (RPKM 12.3) and 5 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 30405bp
Exon count: 21
