Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables voltage-gated chloride channel activity. Involved in chloride transport; regulation of resting membrane potential; and stabilization of membrane potential. Acts upstream of or within acinar cell differentiation; cell differentiation involved in salivary gland development; and retina development in camera-type eye. Located in astrocyte end-foot; basolateral plasma membrane; and myelin sheath. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gonad; hindlimb phalanx; notochord; and visual system. Used to study leukodystrophy and primary hyperaldosteronism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in idiopathic generalized epilepsy 11 and primary hyperaldosteronism. Orthologous to human CLCN2 (chloride voltage-gated channel 2).
