This gene is a member of the K-Cl cotransporter (KCC) family. K-Cl cotransporters are integral membrane proteins that lower intracellular chloride concentrations below the electrochemical equilibrium potential. The proteins encoded by this gene are activated by cell swelling induced by hypotonic conditions. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms, the most important ones being KCC3a and KCC3b. Mutations in this gene are associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy.^[7]
