Abstract excerpt
Barttin is an accessory subunit of a subgroup of ClC-type chloride channels expressed in renal and inner ear epithelia. In this study, we examined the effects of barttin on two ClC-K channel isoforms, rat ClC-K1 and human ClC-Kb, using heterologous expression, patch clamping, confocal imaging, and flow cytometry. In the absence of barttin, only a small percentage of rClC-K1 and hClC-Kb channels are inserted into...
