Chloride intracellular channel 4, also known as CLIC4,p644H1,HuH1, is a eukaryotic gene.5

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 4 (CLIC4) protein, encoded by the clic4 gene, is a member of the p64 family; the gene is expressed in many tissues. These channels are implicated in angiogenesis, pulmonary hypertension, cancer, and cardioprotection from ischemia-reperfusion injury. They exhibit an intracellular vesicular pattern in PANC-1 cells (pancreatic cancer cells).5

Binding partners

CLIC4 binds to dynamin I, α-tubulin, β-actin, creatine kinase and two 14-3-3 isoforms.6
