Transepithelial Cl<sup>-</sup> and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> transport is crucial for the function of all epithelia, and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> is a biological buffer that maintains acid-base homeostasis. In most epithelia, a series of Cl<sup>-</sup>/HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> exchangers and Cl<sup>-</sup> channels that mediate Cl<sup>-</sup> absorption and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> secretion have been detected in the luminal and basolateral membranes. Slc26a9 belongs to the solute car ...[more]
