Biological Functions

Anion exchange protein 3 (AE3) is a membrane transport protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC4A3 gene.^[5]^[6] AE3 is functionally similar to the Band 3 Cl⁻/HCO3⁻ exchange protein but it is expressed primarily in brain neurons and in the heart. Like AE2 its activity is sensitive to pH.^[7]^[8] AE3 mutations have been linked to seizures.^[9]^[10]

SLC4A3 gene mutations have been associated with of Short QT syndrome (SQTS) ^[11] and recent observations suggest that they are probably the most frequent cause of this disease ^[12]

Structural features

The cryo-EM studies on the structures of human AE3 revealed that it forms a homodimer, similar to AE1 and AE2.^[13] AE3 is stabilized in an outward-facing conformation as its resting state, in contrast to AE2, which rests in an inward-facing conformation.^[14] This outward-facing conformation makes AE3 more vulnerable to the pan-inhibitor of anion transporters, DIDS (4,4-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid). In addition to the transmembrane domain (TMD) resolved by cryo-EM, the soluble N-terminal domain (NTD) of AE3 has also been solved in a chimera consisting of the AE3 NTD and AE2 TMD.
