Clcn4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable antiporter activity and voltage-gated chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transport and non-motile cilium assembly. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane; endosome; and lysosomal membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; ciliary base; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Raynaud-Claes syndrome. Orthologous to human CLCN4 (chloride voltage-gated channel 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Clcn4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
