NCIt definition : Human SLC4A1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q21.31 and is approximately
20 kb in length. This allele, which encodes band 3 anion transport protein, is involved
in elimination of carbon dioxide from tissues. Mutations in this gene are associated
with both hereditary spherocytosis and distal renal tubular acidosis. Other mutations
result in novel blood group antigens.;
