CLN8 - CLN8 transmembrane ER and ERGIC protein Gene
Also Known as EPMR; TLCD6; C8orf61
Species: Homo sapiens
About CLN8
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 185 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 5.7), spleen (RPKM 4.0) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a transmembrane protein belonging to a family of proteins containing TLC domains, which are postulated to function in lipid synthesis, transport, or sensing. The protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and may recycle between the ER and ER-Golgi intermediate compartment. Mutations in this gene are associated with a disorder characterized by progressive epilepsy with cognitive disabilities (EPMR), which is a subtype of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Patients with mutations in this gene have altered levels of sphingolipid and Phospholipids in the brain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
