SLC12A7, KCC4, Solute carrier family 12 member 7, Electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransporter 4, K-Cl cotransporter 4

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).
