Function
[Isoform a]: Voltage-gated chloride channel . Insensitive to depolarizing conditioning voltages; requires low voltages for activation; insensitive to chloride levels and has a mild sensitivity to low pH. Channel gating properties are conferred by the cytoplasmic C-terminus . Plays a role in egg laying by modulating hermaphrodite-specific neurons (HSN) excitability and the ovulatory contractions of gap-junction-coupled gonadal sheath cells . When active; may prevent tubular formation of the excretory canals . Activated during oocyte meiotic maturation and by membrane hyperpolarization and cell swelling . Inhibited by Zn(2+) and to a lesser extent by Cd(2+).; [Isoform b]: Voltage-gated chloride channel . Sensitive to depolarizing conditioning voltages; requires stronger voltages for activation and activation is slower; is inhibited by low concentrations of chloride and is activated by low pH. Channel gating properties are conferred by the cytoplasmic C-terminus .
