Defects in the cell adhesion molecule GlialCAM, the membrane protein MLC1 and the chloride channel ClC-2 are implicated in leukodystrophy. Here, Hoegg-Beiler et al.show that these proteins form a functional complex to maintain homoeostatic chloride ion transport supporting normal glial function in mice.
