CLN6 : CLN6 transmembrane ER protein
Description
The CLN6 (CLN6 transmembrane ER protein) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 15.
The CLN6 gene provides instructions for making a protein whose function is not entirely clear. The CLN6 protein is located within the endoplasmic reticulum, a cellular structure responsible for processing and transporting proteins. Studies suggest that the CLN6 protein regulates the movement of specific proteins and fats from the endoplasmic reticulum to lysosomes, which are cellular compartments that break down and recycle materials. This indicates that the CLN6 protein helps cells dispose of unnecessary components.
CLN6 is also known as CLN4A, CLN6A, HsT18960, nclf.
