2.A.49.2.1
Voltage and (possibly) ATP-gated Cl- channel, ClC-1 or CLCN1 (Bennetts et al., 2005; Zifarelli and Pusch, 2008). It may also transport other anions such as thiocyanate, perchlorate, bromide, nitrate, chlorate and iodide.  When mutant, it causes dominant and recessive myotonia. Myotonia congenita is a genetic disease characterized by impaired muscle relaxation after forceful contraction (Orsini et al. 2020). It has a large cytoplasmic C-terminal domain bearing two CBS (cystathionine-β-synthase) domains. Alternative splicing is a posttranscriptional mechanism regulating chloride conductance during muscle development (Lueck et al. 2007). ClC-1-like channels are preferentially located at the somata of medium spiny neurons and can modulate neuronal excitability (Yarotskyy et al. 2022).
