Located on the long arm of the 7th human chromosome, the SLC26A4 gene is composed of 57,174 base pairs between the base pairs 107,660,634 and 107,717,808. Located within a coding region, SLC26A4 encodes for the anion transport protein pendrin.
Depicted in the figure at left is the typical human karyotype for a human female, for reference enclosed within the purple box is the location of the SLC26A4 gene in humans, on the 7th chromosome [2].
