    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text multi-pass membrane protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in sulfate transport in exchange for HCO3 or oxalate
  • characterized as an anion exchanger that transports anions by mediating electroneutral sulfate-oxalate, sulfate-bicarbonate, or oxalate-bicarbonate exchange
  • mediates epithelial transport of oxalate and sulfate, and its localization in the kidney, liver, and intestine suggests that it may play a role in oxalate and sulfate homeostasis
  • regulates both oxalate and sulfate homeostasis and may be critical to the development of calcium oxalate urolithiasis and hepatotoxicity
  • is a basolateral membrane anion exchanger that mediates intestinal oxalate transport
  • SLC26A1, SLC26A6 and SLC26A7 are novel participants in the extracellular transport of bicarbonate during enamel maturation, and that their functional roles may be achieved by forming interaction units with CFTR (pMID: 26671068)

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Slc26a1-/- mice exhibit hyposulfatemia, hypersulfaturia, calcium oxalate urolithiasis, and nephrocalcinosis in the setting of hyperoxalemia and hyperoxaluria
  • Sat1-deficient mice also have a phenotype of hyperoxalemia, hyperoxaluria, and calcium oxalate stones
  • Slc36a1 loss in mice leads to hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate renal stones
  • hyperoxalemia in Slc26a1-/- mice was most likely caused by reduced intestinal secretion of oxalate, based on reduced oxalate transport in basolateral membrane vesicles from the distal ileum, cecum, and proximal colon
