2.A.49.2.6
The ClC-2 or CLCN2 chloride channel is expressed in many tissues (Cl- ≥ Br- > I-) (Thiemann et al., 1992). Regulated in the retina by Cereblon (Q96SW2) (Hohberger and Enz, 2009). A toxin, GaTx2, is a potent and specific inhibitor of ClC-2, binding with a Ki of 20pM (Thompson et al., 2009). ClC-2 channels constitute part of the background conductance and assist chloride extrusion (Rinke et al., 2010). ClC-2 channels regulate neuronal excitability,vision and fertility, but not intracellular chloride levels (Ratté and Prescott, 2011; Sánchez-Rodríguez et al. 2012).  Sequential interactions of chloride and proton ions with the fast gate steer voltage-dependent gating (Sánchez-Rodríguez et al. 2012).  The detailed mechanism of proton gating of chloride currents has been presented (Niemeyer et al. 2009).
