Description
Product Characteristics:
Sodium-independent transporter of chloride and iodide.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: EVA, PDS, DFNB4, TDH2B, Pendrin, Sodium-independent chloride/iodide transporter, Solute carrier family 26 member 4, SLC26A4
Target Information: Mutations in this gene are associated with Pendred syndrome, the most common form of syndromic deafness, an autosomal-recessive disease. It is highly homologous to the SLC26A3 gene\, they have similar genomic structures and this gene is located 3' of the SLC26A3 gene. The encoded protein has homology to sulfate transporters.
