Generic protein structure example

Chloride intracellular channel protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLIC1 gene.[1][2]

Chloride channels are a diverse group of proteins that regulate fundamental cellular processes including stabilization of cell membrane potential, transepithelial transport, maintenance of intracellular pH, and regulation of cell volume. Chloride intracellular channel 1 is a member of the p64 family; the protein localizes principally to the cell nucleus and exhibits both nuclear and plasma membrane chloride ion channel activity.[2]

Interactions

CLIC1 has been shown to interact with TRAPPC2.[3]
