Slc4 Gene Family in Spotted Sea Bass (Lateolabrax maculatus): Structure, Evolution, and Expression Profiling in Response to Alkalinity Stress and Salinity Changes.

ABSTRACT: The solute carrier 4 (SLC4) family is a class of cell membranes transporters involved in base transport that plays crucial roles in diverse physiological processes. In our study, 15 slc4 genes were identified and annotated in spotted sea bass, including five members of Cl^-/HCO₃^- exchangers, eight genes coding Na⁺-dependent HCO₃^- transporters, and two copies of Na⁺-coupled borate transporters. The gene sequence and structure, chromosomal and syntenic arrangement, phylogenetic and evolution profiles were analyzed. Results showed that the slc4 gene in teleosts obviously expanded compared with higher vertebrates, arising from teleost-specific whole genome duplication event. Most gene sites of slc4
