Human Gene CLIC3 (ENST00000494426.2) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens chloride intracellular channel 3 (CLIC3), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_004669) RefSeq Summary (NM_004669): Chloride channels are a diverse group of proteins that regulate fundamental cellular processes including stabilization of cell membrane potential, transepithelial transport, maintenance of intracellular pH, and regulation of cell volume. Chloride intracellular channel 3 is a member of the p64 family and is predominantly localized in the nucleus and stimulates chloride ion channel activity. In addition, this protein may participate in cellular growth control, based on its association with ERK7, a member of the MAP kinase family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

ID:CLIC3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Chloride intracellular channel protein 3; FUNCTION: Can insert into membranes and form chloride ion channels. May participate in cellular growth control. SUBUNIT: Associated with the C-terminal of ERK7. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Note=Predominantly nuclear. Some protein was found in the cytoplasm. Exists both as soluble cytoplasmic protein and as membrane protein with probably a single transmembrane domain (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in placenta (at protein level). Widely expressed. High expression is found in placenta followed by lung and heart. Low expression in skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. DOMAIN: Members of this family may change from a globular, soluble state to a state where the N-terminal domain is inserted into the membrane and functions as chloride channel. A conformation change of the N-terminal domain is thought to expose hydrophobic surfaces that trigger membrane insertion (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the chloride channel CLIC family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 GST C-terminal domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 GST N-terminal domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAD16450.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=28;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
