Gene information for CLCN1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1180
Official gene symbolCLCN1
Full namechloride channel 1, skeletal muscle
Aliases,CLC1,MGC138361,MGC142055,
Gene summaryThe CLCN family of voltage-dependent chloride channel genes comprises nine members (CLCN1-7, Ka and Kb) which demonstrate quite diverse functional characteristics while sharing significant sequence homology. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the electric excitability of the skeletal muscle membrane. Mutations in this gene cause two forms of inherited human muscle disorders: recessive generalized myotonia congenita (Becker) and dominant myotonia (Thomsen). [provided by RefSeq]
