Target
Band 3/AE1 (SLC4A1)
(Solute Carrier Family 4, Anion Exchanger, Member 1 (erythrocyte Membrane Protein Band 3, Diego Blood Group) (SLC4A1))
SLC4A1 (also known as Band 3 protein, Anion exchanger 1) is the most abundant integral protein of human erythrocyte membranes and functions as the major anion transporter polypeptide of erythrocytes, exchanging bicarbonate ions for chloride ions. It plays a central role in structure and function of red blood cells and in acid-secreting cells in the kidney. Band 3 is a 90-100 kD protein, its microheterogeneity is ascribed mainly to the structural heterogeneity of the carbohydrate moiety. The C-terminal portion of the molecule spans the membrane several times, and is responsible for anion transport. The N-terminal portion, comprising almost half of the polypeptide chain of Band 3, is located inside the red cell and interacts with cytoskeletal and cytoplasmic proteins such as ankyrin. There are several Band 3 mutations known in man, which cause several diseases including hereditary spherocytosis, and defective kidney acid secretion leading to distal renal tubular acidosis. Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO, Melanesian ovalocytosis) results from the heterozygous presence of a deletion in the Band 3 protein and is common in areas where Plasmodium falciparum malaria is endemic.Synonyms: AE1, Anion Exchanger 1, Anion exchange protein 1, Band 3 anion transport protein, EPB3, Solute carrier family 4 member 1
