chloride channel

chloride channel
(ClC) any of a large family of ligand- and voltage-gated channels selective for chloride ions, important in membrane excitability, cell volume control, and epithelial transport. Mutations in the chloride channel genes cause several diseases, including cystic fibrosis and hereditary myotonias.
