Chloride-bicarbonate anion exchangers (AE) are thought to be essential to the generation of ion fluxes into biliary, salivary, pancreatic, and other secretions. In primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), chronic cholestasis is frequently associated with pluriglandular exocrine failure. The present study examined the expression of AE genes in PBC at the messenger RNA (mRNA) level.
