Open AccessElectrophysiological properties of anion exchangers in the luminal membrane of guinea pig pancreatic duct cells
The pancreatic duct epithelium secretes the HCO3−-rich pancreatic juice. The HCO3− transport across the luminal membrane has been proposed to be mediated by SLC26A Cl−–HCO3− exchangers. To examine the electrophys...
