chloride transport protein 6; chloride channel protein 6; ClC-6 (CLCN6 KIAA0046)
Function:
- chloride transport protein
- initially identified as voltage-gated chloride channel
- the presence of the conserved gating Glu suggests that it functions as antiporter
Structure:
- N-glycosylated on several asparagine residues
- belongs to the chloride channel (TC 2.A.49) family
- contains 2 CBS domains
Compartment:
- endosome membrane; multi-pass membrane protein
- detected in detergent-resistant lipid rafts
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=5; A-E
Expression:
- testis, ovary, small intestine, brain & skeletal muscle
- low level expression in aortic & coronary vascular smooth muscle cells, & aortic endothelial cells
- isoform C is only detected in kidney
Notes:
- the CLC channel family contains both chloride channels & proton-coupled anion transporters that exchange chloride or another anion for protons
- the presence of conserved gating Glu is typical for family members that function as antiporters (putative)
