    text
  • expressed in endosomes and apical membranes of renal tubules
  • basic FUNCTION
  • chloride voltage-gated channel, likely involved in the receptor-mediated endocytic pathway
  • functioning as electrogenic Cl-/H+ exchanger, carrying a substantial amount of protons across the plasma membrane when activated by positive voltages
  • playing a role in the activation of apical protein endocytosis in kidney proximal tubules by regulating trafficking of megalin and cubilin at the brush border
  • electrically shunting Cl- channel in early endosomes, facilitating intraluminal acidification
  • may compensate the charge accumulation by endosomal proton pumps
  • playing a definitive role in the trafficking and acidification-dependent recycling of apical membrane proteins
  • regulates dentin development through TGFB1 pathway
  • interaction with KIF3B is important for CLCN5 plasma membrane expression and for facilitating endocytosis and microtubular transport in the kidney
  • endosomal chloride concentration, which is raised by CLCN5 in exchange for protons accumulated by the H+-ATPase, may play a role in endocytosis
  • essential for the endocytic activity of the proximal tubule cells and the tubular clearance of proteins filtered in the glomeruli
  • role of CFTR and CLCN5 in modulating vacuolar H+-ATPase activity in kidney proximal tubule
  • Cl-/H+ antiporters that carry out fundamental physiological tasks by transporting Cl- across plasma membrane and intracellular compartments
  • in addition to defective endocytosis, proximal tubule cells lacking CLCN5 show a trafficking defect in apical receptors and transporters, as well as lysosomal dysfunction and typical features of dedifferentiation, proliferation and oxidative stress
  • CLCN3 and CLCN5 are necessary components for S1P-induced excitatory Cl- currents but not for the amplification of TRPV1-mediated currents in sensory neurons

  • interacts with kinesin family member 3B (KIF3B), a heterotrimeric motor protein that facilitates fast anterograde translocation of membranous organelles
  • HNF1A directly regulates the expression of CLCN5 in the renal proximal tubule and yield insights into the mechanisms governing epithelial differentiation and specialized transport activities in the kidney
