SLC4A2 solute carrier family 4 member 2

Gene ID: 6522, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AE2; HKB3; BND3L; NBND3; OPTB9; EPB3L1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the anion exchanger family of membrane transport proteins. The encoded protein regulates intracellular pH, biliary bicarbonate secretion, and chloride uptake. Reduced expression of this gene may be associated with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) in human patients, while differential expression of this gene may be associated with malignant hepatocellular carcinoma, colon and gastric cancers.
