The solute carrier family 26 member 4 (SLC26A4) gene encodes for the protein, pendrin. This protein is localized in the thyroid and inner ear. The SLC26A4 gene is located on the human chromosome at 7q22.3.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human SLC26A4
Application
Anti-SLC26A4 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunofluorescent staining.[1]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pendrin is a transmembrane protein and is involved in the exchange of anions. Mutations in the SLC26A4 gene are associated with Pendred syndrome which is an autosomal recessive disorder, identified by goiter and sensorineural hearing loss. SLC26A4 gene mutations lead to an enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA), which is an inner ear malformation with non-syndromic deafness.

Physical form
Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Pendred's syndrome (PDS) is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and goiter. PDS is caused by mutations of the SLC26A4 gene encoding pendrin, a transmembrane exchanger of Cl(-), I(-) and HCO(3)(-), which is expressed in the thyroid and

Sensorineural hearing loss is a heterogeneous disease caused by mutations in many genes. However, in the presence of enlarged vestibular aqueduct, it is frequently associated with mutations in the solute carrier family 26 member 4 (SLC26A4), a gene causative of
Chronic kidney disease affects 10% of the population with notable differences in ethnic and sex-related susceptibility to kidney injury and disease. Kidney dysfunction leads to significant morbidity and mortality and chronic disease in other organ systems. A mouse-organ-centered understanding underlies
