Weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in malignant melanomas, malignant gliomas, gastric and testicular cancers. Remaining tumors were negative in most cases.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC4A7 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
NBC3, SBC2, SLC4A6
Description
Solute carrier family 4, sodium bicarbonate cotransporter, member 7 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This locus encodes a sodium bicarbonate cotransporter. The encoded transmembrane protein appears to transport sodium and bicarbonate ions in a 1:1 ratio, and is thus considered an electroneutral cotransporter. The encoded protein likely plays a critical role in regulation of intracellular pH involved in visual and auditory sensory transmission. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
