This gene encodes a member of the chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) family of chloride ion channels. The encoded protein associates with actin-based cytoskeletal structures and may play a role in multiple processes including hair cell stereocilia form

Chloride intracellular channel protein 5 (Glutaredoxin-like oxidoreductase CLIC5) (EC 1.8.-.-)
Protein function
In the soluble state, catalyzes glutaredoxin-like thiol disulfide exchange reactions with reduced glutathione as electron donor (By similarity). Can insert into membranes and form non-selective ion channels almost equally permeable to Na(+), K(+
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed in both fetal and adult human tissues (PubMed:24781754). Isoform 1 is expressed in renal glomeruli endothelial cells and podocytes (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20335315, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24781754}.
