“…Thus, the symptoms, especially hearing loss, are presented at a young age. In this respect, treatment of SLC26A4 has been attempted for patients during childhood with cochlear implantation [24,25]. Mutations in SLC26A4 have been identified in patients with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness (DFNB)4 and Pendred syndrome with hearing loss [26].…”

Solute carrier family 26 member 4 (SLC26A4) is a member of the SLC26A transporter family and is expressed in various tissues, including the airway epithelium, kidney, thyroid, and tumors. It transports various ions, including bicarbonate, chloride, iodine, and oxalate. As a multiple-ion transporter, SLC26A4 is involved in the maintenance of hearing function, renal function, blood pressure, and hormone and pH regulation. In this review, we have summarized the various functions of SLC26A4 in multiple tissues and organs. Moreover, the relationships between SLC26A4 and other channels, such as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, epithelial sodium channel, and sodium chloride cotransporter, are highlighted. Although the modulation of SLC26A4 is critical for recovery from malfunctions of various organs, development of specific inducers or agonists of SLC26A4 remains challenging. This review contributes to providing a better understanding of the role of SLC26A4 and development of therapeutic approaches for the SLC26A4-associated hearing loss and SLC26A4-related dysfunction of various organs.
