Disease

CLIC2_HUMAN Note=Defects in CLIC2 are a cause of a mental retardation with cardiopathy and seizures. Cardiac features include atrial fibrillation, cardiomegaly, and congestive heart failure.

Function

CLIC2_HUMAN Can insert into membranes and form chloride ion channels. Channel activity depends on the pH. Membrane insertion seems to be redox-regulated and may occur only under oxydizing conditions. Modulates the activity of RYR2 and inhibits calcium influx.^{[1] [2] [3]}
