General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acts as a DIDS-sensitive anion exchanger mediating chloride, sulfate and oxalate transport. May fulfill critical anion exchange functions in male germ line during meiosis and hence may play a role in spermatogenesis. May be involved in a new regulatory pathway linking sulfate transport to RhoGTPase signaling in male germ cells. A critical component of the sperm annulus that is essential for correct sperm tail differentiation and motility and hence male fertility. Ref.3 UniProtKB Q96RN1

Subunit structure

Interacts with RACGAP1 By similarity. UniProtKB Q96RN1

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Located at the annulus ring structure within the sperm cell. Ref.3

Tissue specificity

Expressed in testis and epididymis. Located at the end of the midpiece of the flagella, known as the annulus, in spermatozoa. Ref.3

Post-translational modification

N-glycosylated By similarity. UniProtKB Q96RN1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the SLC26A/SulP transporter (TC 2.A.53) family. [View classification]

Contains 1 STAS domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 Ref.3 (identifier: Q8R0C3-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Note: Gene prediction based on similarity to human ortholog. No experimental confirmation available.
Isoform 2 Ref.2 (identifier: Q8R0C3-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     486-521: IIWMVTFSSAILLGLDVGLLISLAFTFFVITIRSHR → VSTDASSGCNLGVRGAEAHTHTLPHGQFPGLDPWGQ
     522-999: Missing.
Note: Due to a partial intron retention. No experimental confirmation available.
