Abstract
In this study, we report the complete cDNA sequence, genomic organization and expression pattern of the Caenorhabditis elegans ClC chloride channel gene, clh-6. Two different types of reporter gene fusions suggest that clh-6 expression is restricted to two gamma-aminobutyric acid-ergic RME neurons. These results are in striking contrast with the wide tissue distribution of messenger RNA for the related mammalian isoforms, CIC-6 and CIC-7. The restricted expression pattern of clh-6 provides a unique opportunity to study the biological function of a neuronal CIC chloride channel.Entities:
