CLCN6 is a gene that encodes a member of the chloride channel family, specifically the CLC (chloride channel) family of proteins. This gene is located on chromosome 19 in humans and is involved in the transport of chloride ions across cellular membranes. Chloride channels play important roles in various physiological processes, including maintaining the cell's electrochemical gradient, regulating pH, and contributing to the excitability of neurons and muscle cells.
