Abstract excerpt
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. Presumably, exiting chloride ions push glutamate outwardly while external protonation stabilizes it. To understand the mechanism of...
