Electro-steric opening of the clc-2 chloride channel gate

Abstract The widely expressed two-pore homodimeric inward rectifier CLC-2 chloride channel regulates transepithelial chloride transport, extracellular chloride homeostasis, and neuronal excitability. Each pore is independently gated at hyperpolarized voltages by a conserved pore glutamate. Presumabl...
