CLIC5 chloride intracellular channel 5 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 53405)

Symbol: CLIC5

Full name: chloride intracellular channel 5

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: DFNB102; DFNB103; MST130; 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]
