| ncRNA Symbol: | CLN6 | | Full Name: | CLN6, transmembrane ER protein | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | CLN4A|HsT18960|nclf | | Chromosome: | chr15 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 68206992 | End Site(bp): | 68257211 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene is one of eight which have been associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Also referred to as Batten disease, NCL comprises a class of autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. The genes responsible likely encode proteins involved in the degradation of post-translationally modified proteins in lysosomes. The primary defect in NCL disorders is thought to be associated with lysosomal storage function. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008] | | External Links: | |
