“…To determine the tissue distribution of TrAqps, RT‐PCR analyses (28 and 33 cycles) in 14 tissues of Takifugu rubripes were performed (Figure 1 ). The intestine and kidney are the sites of boric acid absorption and excretion, respectively (Kato et al, 2022 ). In Takifugu rubripes , TrAqp1aa, 1ab, 3a, 7, and 10bb were highly expressed in the intestine, and TrAqp1aa, 1ab, 3a, 4a, 7, and 8bb were highly expressed in the kidney.…”

“…Boric acid (B(OH) 3 ) is in equilibrium with borate (B(OH) 4 − ) in aqueous solutions. To determine which form is transported in oocytes expressing TrAqps, B(OH) 3 or B(OH) 4 − , we analyzed changes in intracellular pH (pH i ) of oocytes expressing TrAqps in a solution containing boric acid because B(OH) 3 influx elicits intracellular acidification, but the influx of B(OH) 4 − elicits intracellular alkalization and membrane hyperpolarization (Kato et al, 2022 ; Ushio et al, 2022 ). Changes in pH i were analyzed in oocytes expressing TrAqp3a, 7, 8bb, 9a, and 9b in an iso‐osmotic solution containing boric acid.…”

“…When SLC4A11 was first characterized it was initially proposed to transport borate [ 49 ], but this claim proved controversial and evidence has since emerged that human SLC4A11 cannot transport borate but rather is likely to transport H + /OH − [ 26 , 50 , 51 , 52 ]. A recent report, however, shows that seawater fish use their SLC4A11 ortholog to excrete boric acid in the kidneys, suggesting that, during the history of vertebrate evolution, either mammalian SLC4A11 lost boric acid transport activity or saltwater fish acquired boric acid transport activity [ 53 ]. Further studies are likely to establish more evolutionary, structural, and mechanistic connections between borate transporters and the SLC4 family.…”
