solute carrier family 26 member 9 (anion transporter/exchanger protein 9, SLC26A9)

Function

• DIDS- & thiosulfate-sensitive anion exchanger mediating chloride, sulfate & oxalate transport
• mediates chloride/bicarbonate exchange or chloride- independent bicarbonate extrusion thus assuring bicarbonate secretion
• inhibited by ammonium & thiosulfate

Structure

• belongs to the SLC26A/sulP transporter family
• contains 1 STAS domain

Compartment

membrane

Expression

• predominantly expressed in lung at the luminal side of the bronchiolar & alveolar epithelium of lung.
• to a lower extent, also espressed in pancreas & prostate

More general terms

• membrane protein
• solute carrier family 26 (SLC26, SLC26A)
