Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionkcc-2 encodes a potassium chloride cotransporter; in C. elegans, kcc-2 acts partially redundantly with the sodium-driven chloride-bicarbonate transporter, abts-1, for effecting GABA-receptor mediated inhibitory neurotransmission in the HSNs (hermaphrodite-specific neurons) that control egg-laying and in body wall muscle to control body length and movement; neuronal expression studies indicate that the regulation of abts-1 and kcc-2 is coordinated to control the cellular chloride gradient; kcc-2 is also required for normal synaptic development in the HSNs; KCC-2 shows chloride transporter activity in functional assays; KCC-2 is expressed in neurons and muscles.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00035082

Automated_descriptionEnables potassium:chloride symporter activity. Involved in chloride transport; potassium ion transport; and regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in body wall musculature; egg-laying apparatus; hermaphrodite distal tip cell; intestine; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy; and epilepsy (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SLC12A4 (solute carrier family 12 member 4); SLC12A5 (solute carrier family 12 member 5); and SLC12A7 (solute carrier family 12 member 7).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (13)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
