Literature associating SLC4A5 and Alstrom syndrome
SLC4A5 [ENSP00000251768]
Electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter 4; Mediates sodium- and bicarbonate-dependent electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransport, with a Na(+):HCO3(-) stoichiometry of 2:1. May have a housekeeping function in regulating the pH of tissues in which it is expressed. May play a role in mediating Na(+):HCO3(-) cotransport in hepatocytes and intrahepatic cholangiocytes. Also may be important in protecting the renal paranchyma from alterations in urine pH; Belongs to the anion exchanger (TC 2.A.31) family.
Synonyms: SLC4A5, SLC4A5p, hSLC4A5, A0A1B0GUV9, A0A1B0GVY3 ...
