Gene information for CLCNKA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1187
Official gene symbolCLCNKA
Full namechloride channel Ka
Aliases,CLCK1,ClC-K1,MGC61490,hClC-Ka,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the CLC family of voltage-gated chloride channels. The encoded protein is predicted to have 12 transmembrane domains, and requires a beta subunit called barttin to form a functional channel. It is thought to function in salt reabsorption in the kidney and potassium recycling in the inner ear. The gene is highly similar to CLCNKB, which is located 10 kb downstream from this gene. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
