Anti-SLC12A7

Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May mediate K+uptake into Deiters' cells in the cochlea and contribute to K+recycling in the inner ear. Important for the survival of cochlear outer and inner hair cells and the maintenance of the organ of Corti. May be required for basolateral Cl-extrusion in the kidney and contribute to renal acidification (By similarity). Protein function: Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May mediate K(+) uptake into Deiters' cells in the cochlea and contribute to K(+) recycling in the inner ear. Important for the survival of cochlear outer and inner hair cells and the maintenance of the organ of Corti. May be required for basolateral Cl(-) extrusion in the kidney and contribute to renal acidification. [The UniProt Consortium]
