Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 116369
Gene name Solute carrier family 26 member 8
Gene symbol SLC26A8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AZONSPGF3TAT1
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p21.31
Summary 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

Protein name Testis anion transporter 1 (Anion exchange transporter) (Solute carrier family 26 member 8)
Protein function Antiporter that mediates the exchange of sulfate and oxalate against chloride ions across a membrane (PubMed:11278976, PubMed:11834742). Stimulates anion transport activity of CFTR (PubMed:22121115, PubMed:23582645). May cooperate with CFTR in t
