Overview of Gene Research
Slc26a6, also known as putative anion transporter 1 (PAT1) and chloride/formate exchanger, is a member of the SLC26 family of multifunctional anion transporters. It is a versatile anion exchanger, capable of transporting various anions such as OXa2⁻, HCO3⁻, Cl⁻, and SO42⁻, and is involved in processes like fluid absorption, anion secretion, regulation of intracellular pH, and waste product elimination [1,2,6]. It plays a significant role in ion homeostasis and acid-base balance across multiple organs including the pancreas, kidney, intestine, and heart [1,6]. Genetic models, like knockout mice, have been crucial for studying its functions [3,4,5,7].
In Slc26a6 null mice, several phenotypes are observed. They exhibit hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate urolithiasis due to defective intestinal back-secretion of ingested oxalate, suggesting SLC26A6's key role in oxalate homeostasis [4]. In the pancreas, deletion of Slc26a6 reduces stimulated juice secretion and HCO3⁻-dependent fluid secretion by about 35% [7]. In the intestine, loss of SLC26A6 function in PKO mice disrupts gut microbiome and related metabolites, decreases gut-barrier integrity, and increases susceptibility to intestinal inflammation [3].
In conclusion, Slc26a6 is essential for maintaining normal physiological functions related to anion transport and homeostasis. Studies using Slc26a6 KO mouse models have revealed its significance in diseases such as nephrolithiasis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and potentially in pancreatic disorders. Understanding its function provides insights into the pathophysiology of these diseases, potentially guiding the development of new therapeutic strategies [1,2,3,4,7].
