Also Known as CCMD; CLN7

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding

Gene ID: 256471

About MFSD8

Cytogenetic location: 4q28.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:127,917,732-127,965,963 (from NCBI)

This gene has 62 transcripts (splice variants), 221 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 5 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 4.9), thyroid (RPKM 4.1) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a ubiquitous integral membrane protein that contains a transporter domain and a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain. Other members of the major facilitator superfamily transport small solutes through chemiosmotic ion gradients. The substrate transported by this protein is unknown. The protein likely localizes to lysosomal membranes. Mutations in this gene are correlated with a variant form of late infantile-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (vLINCL).
