Chloride Channel Protein (ClC)

Target
ClC
Molecular classification
Ion channel, Transporter (some CLC members)
01

Overview

Chloride channel proteins are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the passive movement of chloride ions (Cl⁻) across cellular membranes. They play essential roles in maintaining cell volume, electrical excitability, pH regulation, and transepithelial transport in a wide variety of tissues. The most well-studied family is the CLC (chloride channel) family, which includes both true channels and Cl⁻/H⁺ antiporters. Mutations or dysfunctions in chloride channels are linked to various diseases.
