    basic FUNCTION
  • non erythroid anion exchanger having a inorganic anion exchanger activity
  • is a critical mediator of osteoclast differentiation and function
  • is an electroneutral Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger expressed at the basolateral membrane of many epithelia
  • SLC4A2 plays likely a critical, cell-intrinsic role in osteoclast function
  • regulates bone resorption and actin cytoskeleton organization in osteoclasts via the anion exchange-dependent maintenance of pH intracellular (pHi)
  • osteoclast-intrinsic role of SLC4A2 in bone resorption and SLC4A2 mediates cytoskeletal organization in osteoclasts by regulating calpain activity via anion exchange-dependent control of pHi
  • constitutes a novel target to modulate CD8(+) T-cell responses
    • CELLULAR PROCESS
