Solute Carrier Family 26 Member 11
Solute Carrier Family 26 (Anion Exchanger), Member 11
Sodium-Independent Sulfate Anion Transporter
Solute Carrier Family 26, Member 11
This gene encodes a member of the solute linked carrier 26 family of anion exchangers. Members of this family of proteins are essential for numerous cellular functions including homeostasis and intracellular electrolyte balance. The encoded protein is a sodium independent sulfate transporter that is sensitive to the anion exchanger inhibitor 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Forensic Context
A study in the forensically important flesh fly *Sarcophaga peregrina* demonstrated that the SLC26A11 was consistently up-regulated during postembryonic development from larval to pupal stages, a pattern validated by qRT-PCR [Ren et al. DOI:10.3390/insects13050453].
