Target data

Function

Sodium-independent anion exchanger which mediates the electroneutral exchange of chloride for bicarbonate ions across the cell membrane (PubMed:15184086, PubMed:34668226). Plays an important role in osteoclast differentiation and function (PubMed:34668226). Regulates bone resorption and calpain-dependent actin cytoskeleton organization in osteoclasts via anion exchange-dependent control of pH (By similarity). Essential for intracellular pH regulation in CD8(+) T-cells upon CD3 stimulation, modulating CD8(+) T-cell responses (By similarity).

Activity summary

The AE2 protein also known as solute carrier family 4 member 2 (SLC4A2) functions as an anion exchanger. It plays an important role in transporting chloride and bicarbonate across the cell membrane. AE2 typically weighs around 150 kDa. This protein is expressed in various tissues with notable expression patterns in liver kidney and gastric tissues. AE2 also localizes in the apical membrane of epithelial cells and plays a critical role in pH regulation and electrolyte balance.

Biological function summary

AE2 is essential for maintaining the acid-base balance within cells. It functions not just on its own but also as part of larger protein complexes that interact with cytoskeletal and signaling proteins. Given its role in pH regulation AE2 has significant implications in cellular homeostasis and signal transduction. Its expression in marmoset breast tissue and other epithelial structures supports its function in regulating fluid and ion exchange in various organ systems.

Pathways

Scientists identified AE2 as an important component in the bicarbonate transport pathway and epithelial ion transport pathway. It interacts with various proteins including carbonic anhydrase to facilitate bicarbonate reabsorption and secretion. The pathways involving AE2 contribute to maintaining systemic pH and are critical in processes such as urine acidification and pancreatic secretion. AE2 also has functional links with proteins responsible for ion transport dictating fluid secretion and absorption.

Associated diseases and disorders

Researchers have linked AE2 to conditions such as primary biliary cholangitis and gastric disorders related to acid-base imbalance. In these diseases disruptions in AE2 function can lead to alterations in bicarbonate transport causing symptom exacerbation. AntiAE antibodies targeting AE2 are explored as therapeutic options or diagnostic markers in managing these diseases. Through these mechanisms AE2 maintains a strong connection with proteins involved in pH regulation and immune response modulation affecting disease progression.
