Abstract excerpt
Chloride channels of the ClC family are important for the control of membrane excitability, cell volume regulation, and possibly transepithelial transport. Although lacking the typical voltage-sensor found in cation channels, gating of ClC channels is clearly voltage-dependent. For the prototype Torpedo channel ClC-0 (refs 11-15) we now show that channel opening is strongly facilitated by external chloride. Other...
