Xenon decreased neuronal apoptosis via Bcl-2- and CLIC4-mediated pathways in white matter damage
Title: Impact of Xenon on CLIC4 and Bcl-2 Expression in Lipopolysaccharide and Hypoxia-Ischemia-Induced Periventricular White Matter Damage.
overexpression of CLIC4 suggests that alterations in the proximal tubular compartment during hypertension should be further examined and that CLIC4 may be a useful early marker of renal tubular alterations due to elevated blood pressure

The authors report the presence of unique dimorphic chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) proteins namely CLIC1, CLIC4 and CLIC5 as abundant CLICs in the rodent heart. Further, CLIC4, CLIC5, and an ortholog present in Drosophila (DmCLIC) localize to adult cardiac mitochondria.

CLIC4 plays an important role in retinal pigment epithelium-photoreceptor adhesion, perhaps by modulating the activity of cell surface channels/transporters.
Title: Chloride intracellular channel 4 is critical for the epithelial morphogenesis of RPE cells and retinal attachment.
These results indicate that, by binding to the C-terminus of H3R, CLIC4 plays a critical role in regulation of the receptor cell surface expression.

Oligomers containing the putative transmembrane domain are essential components of the CLIC4 pore.
Title: CLIC4 (p64H1) and its putative transmembrane domain form poorly selective, redox-regulated ion channels.
Data show that CLIC4 is an essential molecular component of novel cellular anion channels and the C-terminus of the integral membrane form of CLIC4 is cytoplasmic.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
