The term " chloride shift " refers to this exchange.

The chloride shift may also regulate the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen through the chloride ion acting as an allosteric effector.

In 1918 he described the chloride shift ( often called " Hamburger shift " ), the process by which red blood cells exchange bicarbonate for chloride.

Also, the chloride-bicarbonate exchanger biological transport protein relies on the chloride ion to increase the blood's capacity of carbon dioxide, in the form of the bicarbonate ion; this is the mechanism underpinning the chloride shift occurring as the blood passes through oxygen-consuming capillary beds.
