Gene: TTYH1

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the tweety family of proteins. Members of this family function as chloride anion channels. The encoded protein functions as a calcium(2+)-independent, volume-sensitive large conductance chloride(-) channel. Three transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.42
