Slc4a5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable sodium:bicarbonate symporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including bicarbonate transport; regulation of intracellular pH; and renal system process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cerebrospinal fluid secretion; mitochondrion distribution; and retina development in camera-type eye. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC4A5 (solute carrier family 4 member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Slc4a5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
