CLTA
Description
The CLTA (clathrin light chain A) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 9.
The Chinese Language Teachers Association, USA (CLTA), established in 1962, is a professional organization dedicated to promoting the teaching and study of Chinese language and culture. CLTA publishes the journal "Chinese as a Second Language" (CSL), which is a leading academic publication in the field of Chinese linguistics, didactics, and literature. Articles are accessible to association members on the CLTA website and in print form at subscribing libraries. The CSL journal, launched in 2016 as a continuation of the "Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association" (JCLTA), features peer-reviewed original research articles in English or Chinese (simplified or traditional characters) that contribute significantly to the theory and practice of Chinese language acquisition.
Clathrin is a key protein in the formation of coated pits and vesicles, which are involved in cellular processes such as endocytosis and vesicle trafficking. CLTA, as a component of the TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex, plays a role in stabilizing the kinetochore fibers of the mitotic spindle, acting as an inter-microtubule bridge. This stabilization is crucial for proper chromosome segregation during cell division.
CLTA is also known as LCA.
