Substrate In Vivo Evidence: Mutations in the SLC4A4 gene cause proximal renal tubular acidosis with bilateral glaucoma, cataracts, and band keratopathy in a patient. Igarashi, T.; Inatomi, J.; Sekine, T.; Cha, S. H.; Kanai, Y.; Kunimi, M.; Tsukamoto, K.; Satoh, H.; Shimadzu, M.; Tozawa, F.; Mori, T.; Shiobara, M.; Seki, G.; Endou, H. Mutations in SLC4A4 cause permanent isolated proximal renal tubular acidosis with ocular abnormalities. (Letter) Nature Genet. 23: 264-265, 1999. Tissue Distribution Evidence: kNBC, pNBC, and hhNBC are encoded by splice variants of the same gene, SLC4A4, or called NBC1. kNBC is highly expressed in kidney and pancreas and has a lower level in brain.

Chem. 272: 19111-19114, 1997. pNBC is expressed predominantly in pancreas, with less expression in kidney and several other tissues.
