Proteins that conduct chloride ions are vital for a range of cellular processes. The long-awaited crystal structure of a chloride channel shows what these proteins look like, and gives hints about how ...
Chloride channels, particularly those of the CLC family, are vital for cellular homeostasis by facilitating the exchange of chloride ions and protons across membranes. These transport proteins govern ...
Nerve cells communicate with each other by means of electrical impulses. To create such an impulse, the cells exchange charged ions with their environment. However, the role played by the ever-present ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The physiologically indispensable chloride channel (CLC) family is split into two classes of membrane proteins: chloride channels and chloride ...
In the human body the salt content of cells and their surrounding is regulated by sophisticated transport systems. Special channels in the cell membrane selectively permit salt ions to flow in and out ...
Scientists have generated structural images of a newly-described class of ion channels that help maintain the balance of pH inside brain cells. These molecular gates, called proton-activated chloride ...

When the adrenal gland produces too much aldosterone, this often leads to high blood pressure and kidney damage (hyperaldosteronism). It has only recently emerged that several patients harbor a ...
Rodent ClC-K1 and ClC-K2, and their respective human orthologs ClCKA and ClCKB, are chloride channels specific to the kidney (and inner ear); Barttin is their functionally important subunit. ClC-K1 is ...
In the cells of the Arabidopsis plant, exposure to sodium chloride (NaCl) induces the movement (translocation) of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagged chloride channel, GFP-AtCLCf, from the ...
