Band 3 anion transport protein
open-in-new
<p>Band 3 anion transport protein, also known as anion exchanger 1 (AE1) or band 3 or solute carrier family 4 member 1 (SLC4A1), is a <a href="/facts/Protein/Jxmagu3E">protein</a> that is encoded by the <i><a href="https://www.genenames.org/tools/search/#!/genes?query=SLC4A1">SLC4A1</a></i> <a href="/facts/Gene/e1swwPY6">gene</a> in humans. </p><p>Band 3 anion transport protein is a <a href="/facts/Phylogenetically/bw4rsovt">phylogenetically</a>-preserved <a href="/facts/Membrane_transport_protein/h1aczVxg">transport protein</a> responsible for mediating the <a href="/facts/Active_transport/7EAcsfb2">exchange</a> of <a href="/facts/Chloride/m9NUaUDR">chloride</a> (Cl−) with <a href="/facts/Bicarbonate/zzSVVAl1">bicarbonate</a> (HCO3−) across <a href="/facts/Plasma_membrane/vAXSD0DT">plasma membranes</a>. Functionally similar members of the AE clade are <a href="/facts/SLC4A2/YRl2nQa9">AE2</a> and <a href="/facts/SLC4A3/yGuWRA77">AE3</a>. </p>
