Source: NCBI Gene (ID 8671)
Symbol: SLC4A4
Full name: solute carrier family 4 member 4
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: HNBC1; KNBC; NBC1; NBC2; NBCe1; NBCe1-A; SLC4A5; hhNMC; kNBC1; pNBC
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]
