Chloride channel Kb, also known as CLCNKB, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CLCNKBgene.[5][6]
Chloride channel Kb (CLCNKB) is a member of the CLC family of voltage-gatedchloride channels, which comprises at least 9 mammalian chloride channels.[7] Each is believed to have 12 transmembrane domains and intracellular N and C termini. Mutations in CLCNKB result in the autosomal recessive Type III Bartter syndrome.[8]CLCNKA and CLCNKB are closely related (94% sequence identity), tightly linked (separated by 11 kb of genomic sequence) and are both expressed in mammalian kidney.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
