SLC4A5, Official Symbol SLC4A5provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 4 member 5provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:18168 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000188687 MIM:606757; AllianceGenome:HGNC:18168 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as NBC4; NBCe2 Summary This gene encodes a member of the sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) family, part of the bicarbonate transporter superfamily. Sodium bicarbonate cotransporters are involved in intracellular pH regulation and electroneural or electrogenic sodium bicarbonate transport. This protein is thought to be an integral membrane protein. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined.
