Background: Pendrin is a transport protein exchanging chloride for other anions, such as
iodide in the thyroid gland or bicarbonate in the inner ear. Mutations in the SLC26A4 gene …

Pendred syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural
hearing loss, with malformations of the inner ear, ranging from enlarged vestibular aqueduct …

Background: Pendrin is a multifunctional anion transporter that exchanges chloride and
iodide in the thyroid, as well as chloride and bicarbonate in the inner ear, kidney and …

Abstract Pendrin (SLC26A4, PDS) is an electroneutral anion exchanger transporting I-, Cl-,
HCO3-, OH-, SCN-and formate. In the thyroid, pendrin is expressed at the apical membrane …

Pendred syndrome (PS) is the most frequent form of genetically related syndromic hearing
loss, and is associated with mutations of pendrin, encoded by the SLC26A4 gene. This …

Sequence alterations in the pendrin gene (SLC26A4) leading to functionally affected protein
variants are frequently involved in the pathogenesis of syndromic and nonsyndromic …

Hearing loss with enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct (EVA) can be associated with
mutations of the SLC26A4 gene encoding pendrin, a transmembrane Cl−/I−/HCO …

Abstract Human pendrin (SLC26A4) is an anion transporter mostly expressed in the inner
ear, thyroid and kidney. SLC26A4 gene mutations are associated with a broad phenotypic …

The SLC26A4 gene encodes the transmembrane protein pendrin, which is involved in the
homeostasis of the ion concentration of the endolymph of the inner ear, most likely by acting …

Abstract Human pendrin (SCL26A4, PDS) is a 780 amino acid integral membrane protein
with transport function. It acts as an electroneutral, sodium-independent anion exchanger for …
