Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables antiporter activity. Involved in synaptic vesicle lumen acidification. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and positive regulation of reactive oxygen species biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including endosome membrane; lysosomal membrane; and synaptic vesicle. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and heart. Used to study neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 3. Orthologous to human CLCN3 (chloride voltage-gated channel 3).
