Disease relevance of SLC26A9

  • Disease states that are associated with increased ammonia (NH3)/NH4+ generation (e.g., Helicobacter pylori) may impair gastric HCO3- secretion and therefore predispose patients to peptic ulcer by inhibiting SLC26A9 [1].
 

High impact information on SLC26A9

 

Anatomical context of SLC26A9

 

Associations of SLC26A9 with chemical compounds

  • Unlike other anion exchangers or transport proteins reported to date, SLC26A9 activity is inhibited by ammonium (NH4+) [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SLC26A9

  • Mucus thickness was measured with micropipettes, juxtamucosal pH (pH(jm)) was measured with pH-sensitive microelectrodes, blood flow was measured with laser-Doppler flowmetry, and mRNA levels of the bicarbonate transporter SLC26A9 were quantified with real-time PCR [3].
