Our brains consist of 80% water, which is continuously shifted between different
compartments and cell types during physiological and pathophysiological processes …

Chesler, Mitchell. Regulation and Modulation of pH in the Brain. Physiol Rev 83: 1183-1221,
2003; 10.1152/physrev. 00010.2003.—The regulation of pH is a vital homeostatic function …

The SLC4 family consists of 10 genes (SLC4A1–5; SLC4A7–11). All encode integral
membrane proteins with very similar hydropathy plots—consistent with 10–14 …

Anion exchanger 1 (AE1), also known as band 3 or SLC4A1, plays a key role in the removal
of carbon dioxide from tissues by facilitating the exchange of chloride and bicarbonate …

The concept of nervous inhibition as a physiological phenomenon in its own right--not
merely as a lack of excitation--was central to a number of early theories on the integrative …

The mammalian Slc4 (Solute carrier 4) family of transporters is a functionally diverse group
of 10 multi-spanning membrane proteins that includes three Cl-HCO3 exchangers (AE1–3) …

Embryonic stem cell (ESC) markers are molecules specifically expressed in ES cells.
Understanding of the functions of these markers is critical for characterization and …

A complementary DNA clone (designated GAT-1) encoding a transporter for the
neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been isolated from rat brain, and its …

The mechanisms underlying acid–base transfers across the branchial epithelium of fishes
have been studied for more than 70 years. These animals are able to compensate for …

The SLC4 family consists of ten genes. All appear to encode integral membrane proteins
