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. May play an important role in neuronal cell function through regulation of membrane excitability by protein kinase C. It could help neuronal cells to establish short-term memory.

Subunit structure

Homo- or heterodimer. Isoform 2 interacts with GOPC, PDZK1 and SLC9A3R1/EBP50.

Subcellular location

Isoform 1: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Early endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Late endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note= Isoform 1 is localized mainly in early and late endosomes.

Isoform 2: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Early endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Late endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note= Isoform 2 partially colocalized with isoform 1 but is mainly enriched in the Golgi.

Isoform 3: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note= Isoform 3 may also be found at the plasma membrane.

Tissue specificity

Expressed primarily in tissues derived from neuroectoderm. Within the brain, its expression is particularly evident in the hippocampus, olfactory cortex, and olfactory bulb. Highly expressed in aortic and coronary vascular smooth muscle cells, and aortic endothelial cells. Also expressed in tracheal and alveolar epithelial cells, and intima and media of the pulmonary vessels. Expressed in bronchus and colon (at protein level).

Domain

Isoform 2 contains a C-terminal PDZ-binding motif mediating the interaction with GOPC.

Post-translational modification

N-glycosylated.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the chloride channel (TC 2.A.49) family. [View classification]

Contains 2 CBS domains.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: P51790-1)

Also known as: ClC-3A;

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Notes: Isoform 1 is localized mainly in early and late endosomes.
Isoform 2 (identifier: P51790-2)

Also known as: ClC-3B;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     734-762: RLLGIITKKDILRHMAQTANQDPASIMFN → IVLGIITKKN...EVYLLNSTTL
Notes: Isoform 2 partially colocalized with isoform 1 but is mainly enriched in the Golgi.
Isoform 3 (identifier: P51790-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-1: M → MESEQLFHRGYYRNSYNSITSASSDEELLDGAGVIMDFQTSEDDNLLDGDTAVGTHYTM
Notes: Isoform 3 may also be found at the plasma membrane.
