Electrogenic sodium/bicarbonate cotransporter with a Na(+):HCO3(-) stoichiometry varying from 1:2 to 1:3. May regulate bicarbonate influx/efflux at the basolateral membrane of cells and regulate intracellular pH.
Subcellular locations: Basolateral cell membrane, Cell membrane
Expressed in the corneal endothelium cells (at protein level). Expressed in pancreas and to a lower extent in heart, skeletal muscle, liver, parotid salivary glands, prostate, colon, stomach, thyroid, brain and spinal chord.
Specifically expressed in kidney at the level of proximal tubules.
