Biology:Cl-formate exchanger

From HandWiki

The Cl-formate exchanger, otherwise known as Pendrin[1] encoded by the SLC26A4 gene,[2] is a transport protein present in the kidney,[3] where it functions in the renal chloride reabsorption. It is also present in vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle.[4]
