Abstract excerpt
The ClC-2 Cl- channel has been postulated to play a role in the inhibitory GABA response in neurons or to participate in astrocyte-dependent extracellular electrolyte homeostasis. Three different mutations in the CLCN2 gene, encoding the voltage-dependent homodimeric ClC-2 channel, have been associated with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). We study their function in vitro by patch clamp and confocal...
