Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables chloride channel activity. Involved in transepithelial chloride transport. Acts upstream of or within regulation of body fluid levels and renal inner medulla development. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in early conceptus; gonad; inner ear; metanephros; and thyroid gland. Used to study nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bartter disease type 3; Bartter disease type 4b; Gitelman syndrome; hypertension; and sensorineural hearing loss.
