Expression of Pendrin Periostin in Allergic Rhinitis Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Background: : Pendrin and periostin are newly identified mediators of the inflammatory process. The expression of these proteins in human sinonasal tissue and their roles in allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis remain to be elucidated. This study

Renal intercalated cells and blood pressure regulation
Type B and non-A, non-B intercalated cells are found within the connecting tubule and the cortical collecting duct. Of these cell types, type B intercalated cells are known to mediate Cl⁻ absorption and HCO₃⁻ secretion largely through pendrin-dependent ...

Novel roles for chloride channels, exchangers, and regulators in chronic inflammatory airway diseases [PDF]
Chloride transport proteins play critical roles in inflammatory airway diseases, contributing to the detrimental aspects of mucus overproduction, mucus secretion, and airway constriction.

DNAJC14 Ameliorates Inner Ear Degeneration in the DFNB4 Mouse Model
The His723Arg (H723R) mutation in SLC26A4, encoding pendrin, is the most prevalent mutation in East Asia, resulting in DFNB4, an autosomal recessive type of genetic hearing loss.

Expression of Human Pendrin in Diseased Thyroids [PDF]
We examined pendrin expression in various diseased thyroid tissues by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using antiserum raised against human pendrin and by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. In normal thyroids the antiserum reacted with the apical membrane of follicular cells and its immunoreactivity was faint.

The Human Pendrin Promoter Contains two N4 GAS Motifs with Different Functional Relevance
Background: Pendrin, an anion exchanger associated with the inner ear, thyroid and kidney, plays a significant role in respiratory tissues and diseases, where its expression is increased following IL-4 and IL-13 exposure.

Atypical Presentation of Enlarged Vestibular Aqueducts Caused by SLC26A4 Variants
Enlarged vestibular aqueduct is the most common inner ear malformation in pediatric patients with sensorineural hearing loss. Here, we report a new presentation of enlarged vestibular aqueduct in a Korean family.

Functional Studies of Deafness-Associated Pendrin and Prestin Variants. [PDF]
Pendrin and prestin are evolutionary-conserved membrane proteins that are essential for normal hearing. Dysfunction of these proteins results in hearing loss in humans, and numerous deafness-associated pendrin and prestin variants have been identified in patients. However, the pathogenic impacts of many of these variants are ambiguous.
