Human homologues 2 and 3 (TTYH2 and 3) mediate the efflux of Cl- from cells in response to the increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels (Suzuki & Mizuno 2004, Suzuki 2006). All CLCAs contain a consensus cleavage motif which is recognised by an internal zincin metalloprotease domain within the N terminus. Self-proteolysis within the secretory pathway yields N- and C-terminal fragments, a step critical for CLCA activation of calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) mediated through the N-terminal fragment (Yurtsever et al. 2012).
