Clcn6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a member of the ClC chloride channel and transporter family of proteins. The encoded protein may function as a vesicular Cl-/H+ antiporter. Homozygous knockout mice exhibit decreased pain sensitivity, behavioral abnormalities and features of lysosomal storage disease. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

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 Clcn6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
