Clcn5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and voltage-gated chloride channel activity. Acts upstream of or within endocytosis. Located in apical part of cell and endosome. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; heart; metanephros; oocyte; and stomach. Used to study Dent disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Dent disease 1; X-linked nephrolithiasis type I; X-linked recessive hypophosphatemic rickets; and low molecular weight proteinuria with hypercalciuric nephrocalcinosis. Orthologous to human CLCN5 (chloride voltage-gated channel 5). [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 mouse Clcn5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
