Facts about Chloride intracellular channel protein 5.
Can insert into membranes and form poorly selective ion channels that can even transport chloride ions. May play a role in the regulation of transepithelial ion secretion and absorption.

Widely expressed in both fetal and adult human tissues (PubMed:24781754). Isoform 1 is expressed in renal glomeruli endothelial cells and podocytes (at protein level).
[Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Apical cell membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Associates with the cortical actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:10793131, PubMed:15184393). Localizes to the apical region of cochlear hair cells, at the base of the actin-rich hair bundle (By similarity). Colocalizes with podocalyxin at the apical cell membrane in renal glomeruli (PubMed:20335315). May localize to the centrosome in lens epithelial cells (By similarity). Exists both as soluble cytoplasmic protein and as membrane protein wi
