Ca2+-activated Cl- channels: focus on "molecular cloning and transmembrane structure of hCLCA2 from human lung, trachea, and mammary gland".

Abstract

chloride channels, widely distributed in nature, play roles as diverse as maintaining membrane potential in muscle and movement of Cl− for fluid and electrolyte transport in epithelial tissues. The importance of Cl− channels to human health and disease is clear in myotonia and cystic fibrosis,
