Summary | This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier/sulfate transporter family. The encoded protein is predominantly expressed in the intestine where it is essential for chloride absorption. Disruption of this gene results in chloride-rich diarrhea and compensatory up-regulation of ion-absorbing transporters. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]. |
