Other name
Testis anion transporter 1 (Anion exchange transporter) (Solute carrier family 26 member 8)
Background
This gene encodes a member of the SLC26 gene family of anion transporters. Family members are well conserved in gene structure and protein length yet have markedly different tissue expression patterns. The expression of this gene appears to be restricted to spermatocytes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010],
Function
caution:Was originally (Ref.3, AAO26699) thought to originate from mouse.,function:Acts as a DIDS-sensitive anion exchanger mediating chloride, sulfate and oxalate transport. May fulfill critical anion exchange functions in male germ line during meiosis and hence may play a role in spermatogenesis. May be involved in a new regulatory pathway linking sulfate transport to RhoGTPase signaling in male germ cells. A critical component of the sperm annulus that is essential for correct sperm tail differentiation and motility and hence male fertility.,induction:Repressed by tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-glycosylation.,miscellaneous:Activity is inhibited by 4,4'-Di-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS - an inhibitor of several anionic channels and transporters), gluconate, and by thiosulfate.,PTM:N-glycosylated.,similarity:Belongs to the SLC26A/SulP transporter (TC 2.A.53) family.,
