NBCproteiner
NBCproteiner refers to a family of ion channel proteins that are characterized by their involvement in the transport of bicarbonate and sodium ions. These proteins are members of the SLC4 family of solute carriers and play crucial roles in maintaining cellular and organismal pH homeostasis, as well as in regulating fluid and electrolyte balance. The "NBC" in NBCproteiner stands for Sodium-Bicarbonate Cotransporter.
These transporters are typically found in various tissues and organs, including the kidney, brain, pancreas, and
NBCproteiner exist in several isoforms, with NBC1, NBC2, and NBC3 being the most well-characterized. These isoforms
