Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the colon. Expression is significantly decreased in adenomas (polyps) and adenocarcinomas of the colon. |
Post Translational Modifications | N-glycosylation is required for efficient cell surface expression, and protection from proteolytic degradation. |
Function | Mediates chloride-bicarbonate exchange with a chloride bicarbonate stoichiometry of 2:1 in the intestinal epithelia. Plays a role in the chloride and bicarbonate homeostasis during sperm epididymal maturation and capacitation. |
