OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the family of voltage-gated chloride channels. Chloride channels have several functions, including the regulation of cell volume, membrane potential stabilization, signal transduction and transepithelial transport. This gene is expressed predominantly in the kidney and may be important for renal salt reabsorption. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive Bartter syndrome type 3 (BS3). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CLCNKB can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CLCNKB as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CLCNKB could matter depends on whether native CLCNKB is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CLCNKB is annotated at the cell surface, where native CLCNKB is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CLCNKB as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
