Functional Characteristics Click here for help
γ = 6-10 pS; permeability sequence = Br- ≥ Cl- > I- > F-, (PI/PCl = 0.1–0.85); slight outward rectification; phosphorylation necessary for activation by ATP binding at binding nucleotide binding domains (NBD)1 and 2; positively regulated by PKC and PKGII (tissue specific); regulated by several interacting proteins including syntaxin 1A, Munc18 and PDZ domain proteins such as NHERF (EBP50) and CAP70
