The H Transporter SLC4A11: Roles in Metabolism, Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Uncoupling.

Solute-linked cotransporter, SLC4A11, a member of the bicarbonate transporter family, is an electrogenic H transporter activated by NH and alkaline pH. Although SLC4A11 does not transport bicarbonate, it shares many properties with other members of the SLC4 family. SLC4A11 mutations can lead to corneal endothelial dystrophy and hearing deficits that are recapitulated in SLC4A11 knock-out mice.
