Testicular cancers and a single case of high grade glioma showed moderate nuclear immunoreactivity. Weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining was observed in few breast and prostate cancers. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CLCNKA (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
hClC-Ka
Description
Chloride channel, voltage-sensitive Ka (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of the CLC family of voltage-gated chloride channels. The encoded protein is predicted to have 12 transmembrane domains, and requires a beta subunit called barttin to form a functional channel. It is thought to function in salt reabsorption in the kidney and potassium recycling in the inner ear. The gene is highly similar to CLCNKB, which is located 10 kb downstream from this gene. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
