(Redirected from Cl-K cotransporter)
The chloride potassium symporter is a membrane transport protein that is present in the S3-segment of the renal proximal tubule[1]. It functions in renal chloride reabsorption to transport chloride across the basolateral membrane.[1]
They can lower intracellular chloride concentrations below the electrochemical equilibrium potential.[1]
They are of solute carrier family 12.
Types
Types of chloride potassium symporter are:
Each is encoded by a separate gene.
The preceding symporters are actually other types of ion pumps. Member 3, for instance, is the sodium-chloride symporter.
