2.A.49.2.4
The kidney medulla voltage-gated dimeric chloride channel, ClC-K1 or CLCNKA. Transports Br-, I- and NO3- as well as Cl-. Regulated by dehydration; functions in the regulation of cell volume, membrane potential stabilization, signal transduction and transepithelial transport.  Possibly required for urinary concentration in the kidney (Uchida et al., 1993).  The human orthologue when mutated can give rise to salt loss associated with Bartter''s syndrome. In the inner ear, it plays a role in hearing. Activators and inhibitors that may have theraputic benefits are known (Gradogna and Pusch 2010). Regulated by the accessory subunit, Barttin (Wojciechowski et al. 2015).
