Protein Details: Chloride channel protein ClC-Ka
Protein ID
ICDB_Pro_1699
Protein Name
Chloride channel protein ClC-Ka
Gene Name
Clcnka; Clcnk1
Organism
Mus musculus (Mouse)
Length
687 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-Q9WUB7-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Voltage-gated chloride channel. Chloride channels have several functions including the regulation of cell volume; membrane potential stabilization; signal transduction and transepithelial transport. May be important in urinary concentrating mechanisms. May be the basolateral chloride channel mediating net chloride absorption in CTAL cells.
