CLIC5 chloride intracellular channel 5

Gene ID: 53405, updated on 13-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MST130; DFNB102; DFNB103; MSTP130

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) family of chloride ion channels. The encoded protein associates with actin-based cytoskeletal structures and may play a role in multiple processes including hair cell stereocilia formation, myoblast proliferation and glomerular podocyte and endothelial cell maintenance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
