Chloride Ion Homeostasis
- Molecular classification
- Homeostatic process
01
Overview
Chloride ion homeostasis refers to the tightly regulated balance of chloride ions (Cl⁻) within cells and across cellular membranes. Chloride is crucial for maintaining osmotic pressure, acid-base balance, cell volume regulation, and electrical excitability, especially in neurons. It involves various ion channels and transporters like NKCC1, KCC2, and AE family exchangers, primarily regulated by the kidneys and WNK kinases. Disruptions can lead to neurological disorders, metabolic imbalances, and hypertension.
