Clcn5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables voltage-gated chloride channel activity. Involved in chloride transport. Located in endosome and membrane. Used to study renal tubular transport 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 rat 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.
