Gene: SLC26A11

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the solute linked carrier 26 family of anion exchangers. Members of this family of proteins are essential for numerous cellular functions including homeostasis and intracellular electrolyte balance. The encoded protein is a sodium independent sulfate transporter that is sensitive to the anion exchanger inhibitor 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q25.3

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 26 member 11
