Background
chloride voltage-gated channel 1(CLCN1) Homo sapiens The 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). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012],
Function
disease:Defects in CLCN1 are the cause of autosomal dominant myotonia congenita (MCD) [MIM:160800]; also known as Thomsen disease. MCD is characterized by skeletal muscle stiffness (delayed relaxation), due to membrane hyperexcitability. A variant form of Thomsen disease is myotonia levior that is characterized by milder symptoms, later onset and absence of muscle hypo- and hypertrophy.,disease:Defects in CLCN1 are the cause of autosomal recessive myotonia congenita (MCR) [MIM:255700]; also known as Becker disease.,function:Voltage-gated chloride channel. Chloride channels have several functions including the regulation of cell volume; membrane potential stabilization, signal transduction and transepithelial transport.,miscellaneous:The CLC channel family contains both chloride channels and proton-coupled anion transporters that exchange chloride or another anion for protons.
