Chloride homeostasis is regulated in all cellular compartments. CLC-type channels selectively transport Cl− across biological membranes. It is proposed that side-chains of pore-lining residues determine Cl− selectivity in CLC-type channels, but their spatial orientation and contributions to selectivity are not conserved. This suggests a possible role for mainchain amides in selectivity.
