Activity summary

SLC4A4 also known as NBC (electrogenic Na+/bicarbonate cotransporter) is a protein that functions in the active transport of bicarbonate ions across cell membranes coupled with sodium ions. This cotransporter plays an essential role in maintaining the acid-base balance and cellular pH homeostasis. The SLC4A4 protein has a molecular mass of approximately 121 kDa. It expresses in various tissues with high levels found in the kidney and pancreas. Its activity is critical for efficient transport processes in epithelial cells contributing to the overall ion balance within these organs.

Biological function summary

The activity of SLC4A4/NBC influences several physiological processes. This protein helps regulate bicarbonate reabsorption in renal proximal tubules which is fundamental for the body's buffering capacity. SLC4A4 can operate within complex systems involving other transport mechanisms to efficiently maintain proper ion concentrations and pH balance. It associates with proteins like carbonic anhydrase which facilitates the rapid interconversion of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate enhancing the efficiency of its transport function.

Pathways

SLC4A4/NBC integrates into several key biological pathways that maintain bicarbonate and acid-base equilibrium. One such pathway is the renal tubular bicarbonate reclamation where it collaborates closely with proteins such as NHE3 (sodium hydrogen exchanger 3) to ensure sodium and bicarbonate absorption. Another pathway is the pancreatic bicarbonate secretion where its role complements secretor proteins to assimilate bicarbonates essential for neutralizing gastric acids.

Associated diseases and disorders

SLC4A4/NBC correlates with significant clinical conditions affecting bicarbonate transport. Mutations or dysfunction in this transporter relate to proximal renal tubular acidosis a disorder characterized by impaired acid-base regulation in kidneys. Additionally it associates with migraine disorders where alterations in pH and ion flow might play a role. Through these conditions SLC4A4 may connect with other bicarbonate transporters such as SLC4A7 to provide insights into pathophysiological mechanisms involving ionic imbalances.
