Human Gene SLC12A5 (ENST00000454036.6) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens solute carrier family 12 member 5 (SLC12A5), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001134771)
RefSeq Summary (NM_001134771): K-Cl cotransporters are proteins that lower intracellular chloride concentrations below the electrochemical equilibrium potential. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane K-Cl cotransporter that can function in either a net efflux or influx pathway, depending on the chemical concentration gradients of potassium and chloride. The encoded protein can act as a homomultimer, or as a heteromultimer with other K-Cl cotransporters, to maintain chloride homeostasis in neurons. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008].

  ID: S12A5_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Solute carrier family 12 member 5; AltName: Full=Electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransporter 2; AltName: Full=K-Cl cotransporter 2; Short=hKCC2; AltName: Full=Neuronal K-Cl cotransporter;
FUNCTION: Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport in mature neurons. Transport occurs under isotonic conditions, but is activated 20-fold by cell swelling. Important for Cl(-) homeostasis in neurons.
ENZYME REGULATION: Inhibited by WNK3.
SUBUNIT: Homomultimer and heteromultimer with other K-Cl cotransporters. Interacts with AP2A1 (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Brain specific. Detected in neuronal cells.
MISCELLANEOUS: Inhibited by furosemide and bumetanide.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SLC12A transporter family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
