01
Overview
Chloride channel proteins are a diverse group of transmembrane proteins that facilitate the movement of chloride ions (Cl⁻) and, in some cases, other anions across cellular membranes. These channels play essential roles in maintaining cell volume, electrical excitability, pH regulation, and transepithelial transport in various tissues. Major families include the CLC family, CFTR, calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs), and others. Dysfunction can lead to diseases such as myotonia congenita, cystic fibrosis, Bartter syndrome, Dent's disease, epilepsy, and osteopetrosis. Several drugs target specific chloride channels, including CFTR modulators for cystic fibrosis.
