Disease

CLIC5_HUMAN Autosomal recessive non-syndromic sensorineural deafness type DFNB. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

CLIC5_HUMAN Required for normal hearing (PubMed:24781754). It is necessary for the formation of stereocilia in the inner ear and normal development of the organ of Corti (By similarity). Can insert into membranes and form poorly selective ion channels that may also transport chloride ions. May play a role in the regulation of transepithelial ion absorption and secretion. Is required for the development and/or maintenance of the proper glomerular endothelial cell and podocyte architecture (PubMed:15184393, PubMed:18028448, PubMed:20335315). Plays a role in formation of the lens suture in the eye, which is important for normal optical properties of the lens (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q8BXK9]^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
