Summary

Name SLC12A5
Full Name Solute carrier family 12 member 5
Synonyms Electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransporter 2, K-Cl cotransporter 2, hKCC2, Neuronal K-Cl cotransporter | KCC2, KIAA1176
Primary ID Q9H2X9
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 3
Pathways GABAergic synapse
Function Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport in mature neurons and is required for neuronal Cl(-) homeostasis. As major extruder of intracellular chloride, it establishes the low neuronal Cl(-) levels required for chloride influx after binding of GABA-A and glycine to their receptors, with subsequent hyperpolarization and neuronal inhibition (By similarity). Involved in the regulation of dendritic spine formation and maturation (PubMed:24668262).
