Epithelial Anion Transport in Health and Disease: The Role of the SLC26 Transporters Family

by Jamie A. Goode and Derek J. Chadwick

Cl- absorption and HCO3- secretion are intimately associated processes vital to epithelial function, itself a key physiological activity. Until recently the transporters responsible remained obscure, but a breakthrough occurred with the discovery of the SLC26 transporters family. It is now clear that the SLC26 transporters have broad physiological functions since mutations in several members are linked to a variety of diseases. This book describes...
