ClC-3, a member of the ClC family, is predicted to have six isoforms, ClC-3a to -3f, with distinct N- and C-terminal amino acid sequences. There have been conflicting reports on the properties of ClC-3a (also known as the N-terminal short form of ClC-3) and ClC-3b (the N-terminal long form of ClC-3) as plasmalemmal Cl(-) channels. Meanwhile, little is known about other isoforms. The amino acid sequence of ClC-3d (a C-terminal variant of the short form) listed in the NCBI database was derived from the genomic sequence, but there has been no experimental evidence for the mRNA.
