gene: exl-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transport. Located in apical plasma membrane; cytoplasm; and muscle cell projection membrane. Expressed in coelomocyte; intestine; muscle cell; and neurons. Used to study alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked intellectual disability-cardiomegaly-congestive heart failure syndrome. Is an ortholog of human CLIC2 (chloride intracellular channel 2) and CLIC4 (chloride intracellular channel 4).
