Function

RHCG plays a critical role in ammonium handling and pH homeostasis in the kidney.^[7] The structure of the RHCG protein^[8] indicates that it has a hydrophobic ammonia-conducting channel and shows that it shares a common fold with the ammonia transporters, thus making it an ammonia transporter.
