DESCRIPTION

Also known as CLCA_ECOLI, clcA, eriC, yadQ. Proton-coupled chloride transporter. Functions as antiport system and exchanges two chloride ions for 1 proton. Probably acts as an electrical shunt for an outwardly-directed proton pump that is linked to amino acid decarboxylation, as part of the extreme acid resistance (XAR) response. Homodimer.
