Coexpression of complementary fragments of ClC-5 and restoration of chloride channel function in a Dent's disease mutation.

Abstract excerpt

The human hereditary disorder Dent's disease is linked to loss-of-function mutations of the chloride channel ClC-5. Many of these mutations involve insertion of premature stop codons, resulting in truncation of the protein. We determined whether the functional activity of ClC-5 could be restored by coexpression of the truncated protein (containing the NH2-terminal region) with its complementary "missing"...
