functional notes from PMID: 31439721

"Potassium chloride cotransporters (KCC1, KCC2, KCC3 and KCC4) are encoded by the SLC12A gene family (SLC12A4, SLC12A5, SLC12A6 and SLC12A7) and are involved in regulation of the intracellular ionic milieu by mediating electroneutral potassium and chloride efflux in response to osmotic changes.[8] By modulating intracellular chloride concentrations, KCC plays an important role in the maintenance of cell volume, neural excitability and epithelial transport.[9] KCC3, which is encoded by SLC12A6, is predominantly expressed in the brain and spinal cord (neurons and glial cells) of the central nervous system and in the dorsal root ganglion of the peripheral nervous system.[10 11] Dysregulation of chloride concentrations in neurons may influence the neuronal activity and their response to GABA."
