Chloride transporters

Chloride transporters are specialized proteins in cell membranes that regulate the movement of chloride ions (Cl-) into and out of cells. They help control important functions like maintaining the cell’s electrical balance, regulating fluid levels, and supporting nerve signaling. These transporters work by either moving chloride ions directly through the membrane or helping other ions to do so, ensuring that the cell’s environment stays stable. Proper functioning of chloride transporters is essential for healthy nerve activity, muscle function, and fluid balance in the body.
