Function | Voltage-gated proton-selective channel that conducts outward proton currents in response to intracellular acidification. Lacks a canonical ion-channel pore domain and mediates proton permeability via its voltage sensor domain (PubMed:16554753, PubMed:20037153, PubMed:20548053, PubMed:22020278, PubMed:27859356, PubMed:30478045, PubMed:37669933). Appears to play a dominant role in regulation of CO2/HCO3(-)/H(+) equilibrium in sperm flagellum. Prevents the acidification resulting from HCO3(-) synthesis and thus sustains high HCO3(-) levels inside sperm for capacitation (PubMed:20144758, PubMed:30478045, PubMed:37669933). Provides for proton efflux that compensates for electron charge generated by NADPH oxidase activity either in the extracellular or phagosomal compartments, thus enabling the production of high levels of bactericidal reactive oxygen species during the respiratory burst (PubMed:20037153, PubMed:30478045). Opens when the pH of airway surface liquid exceeds 7 and contributes to respiratory epithelial acid secretion to maintain pH in the mucosa (PubMed:20548053). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell projection, cilium, flagellum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Detected within the principal piece of the sperm flagellum (PubMed:20144758). Detected mainly at intracellular membranes upon overexpression in HeLa cells (PubMed:20147290) |
Tissue Location | Enriched in immune tissues, such as lymph nodes, B- lymphocytes, monocytes and spleen (PubMed:16554753). Expressed in spermatozoa (PubMed:37669933). Expressed in respiratory epithelial cells (PubMed:20548053). |

Background
Mediates the voltage-dependent proton permeability of excitable membranes. Forms a proton-selective channel through which protons may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Proton efflux, accompanied by membrane depolarization, facilitates acute production of reactive oxygen species in phagocytosis.
