Function | Outward-rectifying chloride channel involved in endolysosomal chloride homeostasis, membrane fusion and function. Conducts chloride currents up to hundreds of picoamperes. Regulates lysosomal calcium content by reducing the lysosomal membrane potential, thereby activating TRPML1 channel and further release of lysosomal calcium ions. Regulates the pH in endolysosomal compartments and may contribute to progressive acidification from endosome to lysosome. Permeable to other halides such as iodide and fluoride ions. |
