TAIR Computational Description | chloride channel A;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a member of the voltage-dependent chloride channel. Also functions as a NO3-/H+ exchanger that serves to accumulate nitrate nutrient in vacuoles. Mutants homozygous for the T-DNA insertion mutation have reduced nitrate uptake capacity in high nitrate environment and exhibit hypersensitivity to chlorate. Role in cytosolic pH homeostasis. |
