Function Voltage-gated chloride channel. Chloride channels have several functions including the regulation of cell volume; membrane potential stabilization, signal transduction and transepithelial transport. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19153159, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19191339}.
Subcellular Location Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity Ubiquitously expressed. Moderately expressed in aortic and coronary vascular smooth muscle cells and expressed at a low level in aortic endothelial cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10198195}.
