CLIC5 Protein, Human (His)

The CLIC5 protein is essential for normal hearing and contributes to the formation of stereocilia and the development of the organ of Corti in the inner ear. It forms poorly selective ion channels that may transport chloride ions. CLIC5 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived CLIC5 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag. The total length of CLIC5 Protein, Human (His) is 238 a.a., with molecular weight of ~32.0 kDa.

CLIC5 protein is essential for normal hearing, as it is necessary for the formation of stereocilia in the inner ear and the proper development of the organ of Corti. It has the ability to insert into membranes and form ion channels that are poorly selective, possibly transporting chloride ions. Moreover, CLIC5 may play a role in regulating the absorption and secretion of ions across epithelial cells. It is also crucial for the development and maintenance of the appropriate architecture of glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes in the kidney. Additionally, CLIC5 contributes to the formation of the lens suture in the eye, which is vital for maintaining the lens's optical properties. It is a component of a complex comprising various cytoskeletal proteins, including actin, ezrin, alpha-actinin, gelsolin, and IQGAP1, and interacts with AKAP9.
