chloride channels

What are the Types of Chloride Channels?

There are several types of chloride channels, each with distinct regulatory mechanisms and functions:
CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator): A well-known chloride channel involved in fluid secretion in the lungs and intestines.
VRAC (Volume-Regulated Anion Channels): These channels help regulate cell volume by controlling chloride ion flow in response to osmotic changes.
CaCC (Calcium-Activated Chloride Channels): Activated by intracellular calcium, they play a role in processes like smooth muscle contraction.
Ligand-Gated Chloride Channels: Found in the nervous system, these channels respond to neurotransmitters like GABA and glycine.
