CLCN6 chloride voltage-gated channel 6

Gene ID: 1185, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CLC-6; CONRIBA

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the voltage-dependent chloride channel protein family. Members of this family can function as either chloride channels or antiporters. This protein is primarily localized to late endosomes and functions as a chloride/proton antiporter. Alternate splicing results in both coding and non-coding variants. Additional alternately spliced variants have been described but their full-length structure is unknown. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
