Function 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. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10069984, ECO:0000269PubMed:12907161, ECO:0000269PubMed:9235899, ECO:0000269PubMed:9651366}.
Subcellular Localization Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:12907161, ECO:0000269PubMed:15273250}; Multi- pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:12907161, ECO:0000269PubMed:15273250}.
Disease Associations Renal tubular acidosis, proximal, with ocular abnormalities and mental retardation (pRTA-OA) [MIM:604278]: An extremely rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by short stature, profound proximal renal tubular acidosis, mental retardation, bilateral glaucoma, cataracts and bandkeratopathy. pRTA is due to a failure of the proximal tubular cells to reabsorb filtered bicarbonate from the urine, leading to urinary bicarbonate wasting and subsequent acidemia. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10545938, ECO:0000269PubMed:15471865, ECO:0000269PubMed:15713912, ECO:0000269PubMed:15930088}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Note=Loss of interaction with and stimulation by CA4 is the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 17 (RP17).
Tissue Specificity Isoform 1 is expressed in pancreas and to a lower extent in heart, skeletal muscle, liver, parotid salivary glands, prostate, colon, stomach, thyroid, brain and spinal chord. Corneal endothelium cells express only isoform 1 (at protein level). Isoform 2 is specifically expressed in kidney at the level of proximal tubules. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10069984, ECO:0000269PubMed:11743927, ECO:0000269PubMed:12907161, ECO:0000269PubMed:14559244, ECO:0000269PubMed:15329059, ECO:0000269PubMed:9235899, ECO:0000269PubMed:9651366}.
