A second distinct family of anion exchangers, SLC26, in addition to the classical SLC4 (or
anion exchanger) family, has recently been delineated. Particular interest in this gene family
is stimulated by the fact that the SLC26A2, SLC26A3, and SLC26A4 genes have been
recognized as the disease genes mutated in diastrophic dysplasia, congenital chloride
diarrhea, and Pendred syndrome, respectively. We report the expansion of theSLC26 gene
family by characterizing three novel tissue-specific members, named SLC26A7, SLC26A8 …
