Supplementary information

KCC2 also known as the potassium-chloride cotransporter 2 or SLC12A5 is an important neuronal protein. This transporter weighs approximately 125 kDa and is predominantly found in the central nervous system especially in neurons. KCC2 plays a central role in maintaining the intracellular chloride ion concentration by extruding chloride ions out in exchange for potassium ions. Through this action it aids in establishing the inhibitory action of neurotransmitters like GABA and glycine.
Biological function summary

KCC2 contributes significantly to the regulation of neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. It does not appear as part of a larger protein complex but functions as a homodimer. KCC2's activity helps determine the strength and efficacy of inhibitory synapses influencing processes such as synaptic plasticity and neural development. By managing chloride ion gradients KCC2 ensures proper inhibitory neurotransmission which is essential for balanced neural activity.

Pathways

KCC2 is important for the GABAergic neurotransmission pathway which is significant for inhibitory signaling in the nervous system. This transporter interacts closely with proteins like NKCC1 another cation-chloride cotransporter which has an opposing function in chloride ion movement. The GABAergic pathway relies on KCC2 for hyperpolarizing inhibition contributing to the regulation of neuronal networks and stabilizing membrane potential.

KCC2 malfunctions associate with epilepsy and neuropathic pain. Altered expression or dysfunction of KCC2 disrupts inhibitory control leading to abnormal hyperexcitability in neurons which is a characteristic of epilepsy. Moreover in neuropathic pain downregulation of KCC2 impairs glycinergic inhibition contributing to the pathophysiology of chronic pain states. In these conditions KCC2's interaction with proteins such as NKCC1 highlights its role in maintaining inhibitory balance and neural homeostasis.

Target data

Mediates electroneutral potassium-chloride cotransport in mature neurons and is required for neuronal Cl(-) homeostasis (PubMed : 12106695). As major extruder of intracellular chloride, it establishes the low neuronal Cl(-) levels required for chloride influx after binding of GABA-A and glycine to their receptors, with subsequent hyperpolarization and neuronal inhibition (By similarity). Involved in the regulation of dendritic spine formation and maturation (PubMed : 24668262).
