CLCN2 chloride voltage-gated channel 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 1181)

Symbol: CLCN2

Full name: chloride voltage-gated channel 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CIC-2; CLC2; ECA2; ECA3; EGI11; EGI3; EGMA; EJM6; EJM8; HALD2; LKPAT; clC-2

Summary: This gene encodes a voltage-gated chloride channel. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein that maintains chloride ion homeostasis in various cells. Defects in this gene may be a cause of certain epilepsies. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
