Comments
  • FUNCTION: Voltage-gated chloride channel. Chloride channels have several functions including the regulation of cell volume; membrane potential stabilization, signal transduction and transepithelial transport.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
  • ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 3 named isoforms [FASTA] produced by alternative splicing.
    Name1
    Isoform IDP51788-1
    This is the isoform sequence displayed in this entry.
    Name2
    Isoform IDP51788-2
    Note: May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
    Features which should be applied to build the isoform sequence: VSP_007831, VSP_007832, VSP_036455.
    Name3
    Isoform IDP51788-3
    Features which should be applied to build the isoform sequence: VSP_036456.
  • TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitously expressed. Moderately expressed in aortic and coronary vascular smooth muscle cells and expressed at a low level in aortic endothelial cells.
  • DISEASE: Defects in CLCN2 may be the cause of epilepsy with grand mal seizures on awakening (EGMA) [MIM:607628]. EGMA is a subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) characterized by generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) occurring predominantly on awakening. The GTCS can be the only symptom or they can be combined with the other subsyndromes of IGE in childhood or adolescence.
  • DISEASE: Defects in CLCN2 are the cause of childhood absence epilepsy type 3 (ECA3) [MIM:607682]. ECA3 is a subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) characterized by onset at age 6-7 years, frequent absence seizures (several per day) and bilateral, synchronous, symmetric 3 Hz spike waves on EEG. During adolescence, tonic-clonic and myoclonic seizures develop.
  • DISEASE: Defects in CLCN2 are a cause of juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE) [MIM:607631]. JAE is a subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) characterized by onset occurring around puberty, absence seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS), GTCS on awakening and myoclonic seizures.
  • MISCELLANEOUS: The CLC channel family contains both chloride channels and proton-coupled anion transporters that exchange chloride or another anion for protons. The absence of conserved gating glutamate residues is typical for family members that function as channels (By similarity).
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the chloride channel (TC 2.A.49) family [view classification].
  • SIMILARITY: Contains 2 CBS domains.
  • SEQUENCE CAUTION:
    • Sequence=AAH21578.1; Type=Erroneous translation; Note=Wrong choice of frame
  • WEB RESOURCE: Name=GeneReviews; URL="http://www.genetests.org/query?gene=CLCN2";.
