Function |
Electrogenic sodium/bicarbonate cotransporter with a Na(+):HCO3(-) stoichiometry varying from 1:2 to 1:3. May regulate bicarbonate influx/efflux at the basolateral membrane of cells and regulate intracellular pH. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10648705, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10837348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9486238}.

Subcellular Location |
Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9486238}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9486238}.

Tissue Specificity |
Specifically expressed in kidney and to a lower extent in liver, lung, spleen, brain, skeletal muscle and heart. In kidney, expressed in proximal tubules at the corticomedullary junction. Isoform 2 is specifically expressed in kidney. Isoform 1 is expressed in kidney and pancreas while isoform 3 is specifically expressed in brain (at protein level). In brain, isoform 1 is expressed in astrocytes while isoform 3 is expressed in neurons (at protein level). In the eye, isoform 1 is expressed in cornea, conjunctiva, lens epithelium, ciliary bodies and retina while isoform 2 is detected only in the conjunctiva. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10648705, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10837348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11592950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12444017, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15329059, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9486238, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9841505}.
