CLIC5

Chloride intracellular channel protein 5 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CLIC5 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
Chloride intracellular channels are involved in chloride ion transport within various subcellular compartments. CLIC5 specifically associates with the is_associated_with::cytoskeleton of placenta is_associated_with::microvilli. CLIC5 can form ion channel in bilayers and is regulated by is_associated_with::actin.
