CLIC2 chloride intracellular channel 2

Gene ID: 1193, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CLCNL2; CLIC2b; MRXS32; XAP121

Summary

This gene encodes a chloride intracellular channel protein. Chloride channels are a diverse group of proteins that regulate fundamental cellular processes including stabilization of cell membrane potential, transepithelial transport, maintenance of intracellular pH, and regulation of cell volume. This protein plays a role in inhibiting the function of ryanodine receptor 2. A mutation in this gene is the cause of an X-linked form of cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
