CFTR | Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator; Epithelial ion channel that plays an important role in the regulation of epithelial ion and water transport and fluid homeostasis. Mediates the transport of chloride ions across the cell membrane. Channel activity is coupled to ATP hydrolysis. The ion channel is also permeable to HCO(3-); selectivity depends on the extracellular chloride concentration. Exerts its function also by modulating the activity of other ion channels and transporters. Contributes to the regulation of the pH and the ion content of the epithelial fluid layer. (1480 aa) | ||||
SLC26A9 | Solute carrier family 26 member 9; DIDS- and thiosulfate- sensitive anion exchanger mediating chloride, sulfate and oxalate transport. Belongs to the SLC26A/SulP transporter (TC 2.A.53) family. (787 aa) |
