ClC-2 Contributes to Native Chloride Secretion by a Human Intestinal Cell Line, Caco-2

Abstract excerpt

It has been previously determined that ClC-2, a member of the ClC chloride channel superfamily, is expressed in certain epithelial tissues. These findings fueled speculation that ClC-2 can compensate for impaired chloride transport in epithelial tissues affected by cystic fibrosis and lacking the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. However, direct evidence linking ClC-2 channel expression to...
