Mechanism of anion exchange and small-molecule inhibition of pendrin
Abstract Pendrin (SLC26A4) is an anion exchanger that mediates bicarbonate (HCO3 −) exchange for chloride (Cl−) and is crucial for maintaining pH and salt homeostasis in the kidney, lung, and cochlea. Pendrin also exports iodide (I−) in the thyroid gland. Pendrin mutations in humans lead to Pendred...
