Alias
CIC-2 | CLC2 | ECA2 | ECA3 | EGI11 | EGI3 | EGMA | EJM6 | EJM8 | LKPAT | clC-2
This gene encodes a voltage-gated chloride channel. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein that maintains chloride ion homeostasis in various cells. Defects in this gene may be a cause of certain epilepsies. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012].
