Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Mediates the exchange of chloride ions against protons. Functions as antiporter and contributes to the acidification of the endosome and synaptic vesicle lumen, and may thereby affect vesicle trafficking and exocytosis. May play an important role in neuronal cell function through regulation of membrane excitability by protein kinase C. It could help neuronal cells to establish short-term memory. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15504734, ECO:0000269PubMed:18923035}.

Subcellular Localization

Early endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Late endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Detected in kidney, in the apical part of proximal tubule cells (at protein level). Expressed at high levels in the kidney while a low level expression is seen in the brain. Within the brain, it is prominent in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex and olfactory bulb. {ECO:0000269PubMed:18923035}.
