Voltage-gated chloride channel. This channel is thought to ensure the high conductance of the non-innervated membrane of the electrocyte necessary for efficient current generation caused by sodium influx through the acetylcholine receptor at the innervated membrane. Homodimer. Each subunit has channel activity ('Double barreled channel'). The CLC channel family contains both chloride channels and proton-coupled anion transporters that exchange chloride or another anion for protons. The absence of conserved gating glutamate residues is typical for family members that function as channels (By similarity). Belongs to the chloride channel (TC 2.A.49) family. ClC-0 subfamily.
