Fig. 4.
(A) Examples of SLC proteins transporting protons and bicarbonate ions (SLC4, SLC9, SLC26). SLC4A1 represents the subfamily of anion exchangers (AE), SLC4A4 represents the subfamily of electrogenic Na+/HCO3 − cotransporters, while SLC4A7 represents the subfamily of electroneutral Na/HCO3 − cotransporters. SLC9A1 serves as the prototypical Na+/H+ exchanger. SLC26A1 is an example of an SLC26 transporter that cotransports sulfate with Cl−. (B) Examples of SLC proteins transporting divalent ions (SLC8 and SLC24). SLC8A1 is shown as an example of a Ca2+/Na+ exchanger. SLC24A1 is shown as an example of K+‐dependent Na+/Ca2+ exchangers.
