Function | Voltage-gated chloride channel involved in skeletal muscle excitability. Generates most of the plasma membrane chloride conductance in skeletal muscle fibers, stabilizes the resting membrane potential and contributes to the repolarization phase during action potential firing (PubMed:12456816, PubMed:16027167, PubMed:22521272, PubMed:22641783, PubMed:26007199, PubMed:26502825, PubMed:26510092, PubMed:7951242, PubMed:8112288, PubMed:8130334, PubMed:9122265, PubMed:9565403, PubMed:9736777). Forms a homodimeric channel where each subunit has its own ion conduction pathway. Conducts double-barreled currents controlled by two types of gates, two fast glutamate gates that control each subunit independently and a slow common gate that opens and shuts off both subunits simultaneously. Has a significant open probability at muscle resting potential and is further activated upon membrane depolarization (PubMed:10051520, PubMed:10962018, PubMed:29809153, PubMed:31022181). Permeable to small monovalent anions with ion selectivity for chloride > thiocyanate > bromide > nitrate > iodide (PubMed:9122265, PubMed:9565403). |

Background
The CLCN family of voltage-dependent chloride channel genes comprises nine members (CLCN1-7, Ka and Kb) which demonstrate quite diverse functional characteristics while sharing significant sequence homology. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the electric excitability of the skeletal muscle membrane. Mutations in this gene cause two forms of inherited human muscle disorders: recessive generalized myotonia congenita (Becker) and dominant myotonia (Thomsen).
