CLCN5 is a gene that encodes a chloride channel protein, which is a member of the CLC (chloride channel) family of proteins. This family plays an essential role in various physiological processes, including the regulation of ion balance, electrical excitability of cells, and the maintenance of acid-base homeostasis. The CLCN5 protein specifically is primarily expressed in the kidneys, particularly in the renal proximal tubule cells, where it is involved in the reabsorption of chloride ions.
