Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables chloride channel activity; chloride:bicarbonate antiporter activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in monoatomic anion transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bicarbonate transport; chloride transport; and regulation of pH. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC26A9 (solute carrier family 26 member 9).
