SLC12A2 solute carrier family 12 member 2

Gene ID: 6558, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BSC; BSC2; CCC1; BSC-2; KILQS; NKCC1; hNKCC1; PPP1R141

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene mediates sodium and chloride transport and reabsorption. The encoded protein is a membrane protein and is important in maintaining proper ionic balance and cell volume. This protein is phosphorylated in response to DNA damage. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
