SLC12A6 solute carrier family 12 member 6

Gene ID: 9990, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: KCC3; ACCPN; KCC3A; KCC3B; CMT2II

Summary

This gene is a member of the K-Cl cotransporter (KCC) family. K-Cl cotransporters are integral membrane proteins that lower intracellular chloride concentrations below the electrochemical equilibrium potential. The proteins encoded by this gene are activated by cell swelling induced by hypotonic conditions. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Mutations in this gene are associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
