Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - CLCN6 is a member of the chloride channel family of ion channels. - It is expressed in neurons, oligodendrocytes, cardiomyocytes, and retinal ganglion cells. - It is a heterotetrameric protein, with four transmembrane domains. - Each domain is composed of a pore-forming transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic intracellular loop. **Pathways and functions:** - CLCN6 is involved in the regulation of water and solute transport across cell membranes. - It is a key regulator of neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity. - It is also involved in the regulation of cardiac function and blood pressure. - CLCN6 is a potential therapeutic target for a variety of neurological diseases, such as epilepsy, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in CLCN6 have been linked to a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders, including epilepsy, schizophrenia, and autism. - CLCN6 inhibitors are being investigated as potential treatments for these disorders. **Additional information:** - CLCN6 is a relatively obscure protein, with a low expression in most tissues. - However, its expression is increased in neurons and other cell types that are involved in brain function. - CLCN6 is a highly conserved protein, with a similar sequence in mammals, birds, and fish.
