Gene information for SLC26A3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1811
Official gene symbolSLC26A3
Full namesolute carrier family 26, member 3
Aliases,CLD,DRA,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein that transports chloride ions across the cell membrane in exchange for bicarbonate ions. It is localized to the mucosa of the lower intestinal tract, particularly to the apical membrane of columnar epithelium and some goblet cells. The protein is essential for intestinal chloride absorption, and mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital chloride diarrhea. [provided by RefSeq]
