Chloride channels conduct chloride anions across cell membranes, regulating the electrical excitation of skeletal muscles and the flow of salt and water across epithelial barriers. They also play an importante role in regulation of pH, volume homeostasis, organic solute transport, cell migration, cell proliferation and differentiation.Genetic defects in Cl- channels underlie several familial muscle and kidney diseases.
