CLTB - clathrin light chain B Gene
Also Known as LCB
Species: Homo sapiens
About CLTB
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 198 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in esophagus (RPKM 44.6), skin (RPKM 37.3) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
Clathrin is a large, soluble protein composed of heavy and light chains. It functions as the main structural component of the lattice-type cytoplasmic face of coated pits and vesicles which entrap specific macromolecules during receptor-mediated endocytosis. This gene encodes one of two clathrin light chain proteins which are believed to function as regulatory elements. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
