sulp-7

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable salt transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in inorganic anion transmembrane transport and organic anion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; intestine; pharyngeal muscle cell; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Pendred Syndrome; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness (multiple); and bone disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of several human genes including SLC26A2 (solute carrier family 26 member 2); SLC26A3 (solute carrier family 26 member 3); and SLC26A4 (solute carrier family 26 member 4).
