Function | Anion-selective channel permeable to small monovalent anions with ion selectivity for chloride > bromide > nitrate > iodide (PubMed:11734858, PubMed:12111250). Forms a homodimeric channel where each subunit has its own ion conduction pathway. May conduct double- barreled currents controlled by two types of gates, two fast gates that control each subunit independently and a slow common gate that opens and shuts off both subunits simultaneously (PubMed:11734858, PubMed:12111250, PubMed:18310267, PubMed:18776122, PubMed:19646679, PubMed:20538786). Assembles with the regulatory subunit BSND/Barttin for sorting at the basolateral plasma membrane domain and functional switch to the ion conducting state. CLCNKA:BSND channels display mostly a linear current-voltage relationship with fast gating at negative potentials (PubMed:11734858, PubMed:12111250, PubMed:18310267, PubMed:18776122, PubMed:20538786). Mediates transepithelial chloride transport from the lumen to interstitial compartment along the thin ascending limb of Henle's loop, contributing to generation of hypertonic medullary interstitium as a countercurrent system to achieve urine concentration (By similarity) (PubMed:15044642). Conducts chloride currents in the stria vascularis of the inner ear to establish the endocochlear potential necessary for normal hearing (PubMed:15044642, PubMed:18310267, PubMed:19646679). |

Background
Voltage-gated chloride channel. Chloride channels have several functions including the regulation of cell volume; membrane potential stabilization, signal transduction and transepithelial transport. May be important in urinary concentrating mechanisms.
