Current view on the functional regulation of the neuronal K+-Cl- cotransporter KCC2
In the mammalian central nervous system, the inhibitory strength of chloride (Cl-)-permeable GABAA and glycine receptors (GABAAR and GlyR) depends on the intracellular Cl- concentration ([Cl-]i). Lowering [Cl-]i enhances inhibition, whereas raising [Cl-]i facilitates neuronal activity. A neuron’s ba...
