High impact information on NBPF3

DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanodihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid) inhibited AE2 function, preventing the arsenic trioxide-induced degradation of RARalpha and low concentration showed synergistic effects on the expression of CD11c, which is related with cell differentiation [1].
Anion exchanger 2 (AE2) mediates the exchange of C1-/HCO3- across the plasma membrane and plays a role in the regulation of intracellular pH [1].
Bicarbonate is secreted from hepatocytes and cholangiocytes through parallel mechanisms which involve chloride efflux through activation of Cl- channels, and further bicarbonate secretion via AE2/SLC4A2-mediated Cl-/HCO3- exchange [2].
Moreover, 19 cases (68%) showed over-expression of AE2 in HCC tissues, 3 cases were similar in both tissues, and 6 cases exhibited little or undetectable signals [3].

Associations of NBPF3 with chemical compounds

The present study showed that AE2 protein expression was upregulated immediately after exposure to either low (0.5 micromol/l) or high (1 and 2 micromol/l) concentrations of arsenic trioxide [1].
