title: Anion exchange transporter
text: # Anion exchange transporter
  
  Anion exchange transporter is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC26A7 gene.
  
  ## Function
  
  This gene is one member of a family of sulfate/anion transporter genes. Family members are well conserved in their genomic (number and size of exons) and protein (aa length among species) structures yet have markedly different tissue expression patterns. This gene has abundant and specific expression in the kidney. Splice variants that use both alternate transcription initiation and polyadenylation sites have been described for this gene.
