General annotation (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.

Subunit structure

Homotetramer Probable.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Predominantly expressed in skeletal muscles.

Involvement in disease

Defects in CLCN1 are the cause of Thomsen disease (THD) [MIM:160800]; also known as autosomal dominant myotonia congenita (MCD). THD is characterized by skeletal muscle stiffness (delayed relaxation), due to membrane hyperexcitability. A variant form of Thomsen disease is myotonia levior that is characterized by milder symptoms, later onset and absence of muscle hypo- and hypertrophy. Ref.1 Ref.5 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.12 Ref.14

Defects in CLCN1 are the cause of autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (MCR) [MIM:255700]; also known as Becker disease. Ref.4 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.13

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.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the chloride channel (TC 2.A.49) family. ClC-1/CLCN1 subfamily. [View classification]

Contains 2 CBS domains.
