Solute carrier family 12 member 7 (SLC12A7)

Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport when activated by cell swelling. May mediate K(+) uptake to 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. Might be required for basolateral Cl(-) extrusion in the kidney and contribute to renal acidification (By similarity).
