TTYH3
Description
The TTYH3 (tweety family member 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.
The TTYH3 gene in humans encodes a protein belonging to the tweety family, which are known to function as chloride anion channels. This specific protein acts as a calcium(2+)-activated large conductance chloride(-) channel. Its function is to regulate the flow of chloride ions across cell membranes, playing a crucial role in maintaining cell volume and other cellular processes.
TTYH3 is a probable large-conductance calcium-activated chloride channel that may be involved in calcium signal transduction.
TTYH3 is also known as -.
