Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables ankyrin binding activity; chloride:bicarbonate antiporter activity; and hemoglobin binding activity. Involved in chloride transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bicarbonate transport; negative regulation of glycolytic process through fructose-6-phosphate; and pH elevation. Located in basolateral plasma membrane; cortical cytoskeleton; and cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including blood; cardiovascular system; liver; lung; and metanephros. Used to study hereditary spherocytosis type 4 and renal tubular acidosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital hemolytic anemia; hereditary spherocytosis; and renal tubular acidosis. Orthologous to human SLC4A1 (solute carrier family 4 member 1 (Diego blood group)).
