TM2 and TM11 in KCC4 are linked by a membrane buried disulfide bond between amino acids C163 (TM2) and C626 (TM11) conserved between KCCs, but not other CCCs (Figure 2-figure supplement 1). The transmembrane region consists of twelve helices (TM1-TM12) with TM1-TM5 related to TM6-TM10 through an inverted repeat.
