CERKL - ceramide kinase like Gene
Also Known as RP26
Species: Homo sapiens
About CERKL
This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 241 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in lymph node (RPKM 16.6), appendix (RPKM 16.2) and 20 other tissues.
Summary
This gene was initially identified as a locus (RP26) associated with an autosomal recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) disease. This gene encodes a protein with ceramide kinase-like domains, however, the protein does not phosphorylate ceramide and its target substrate is currently unknown. This protein may be a negative regulator of Apoptosis in photoreceptor cells. Mutations in this gene cause a form of retinitis pigmentosa characterized by autosomal recessive cone and rod dystrophy (arCRD). Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and non-coding transcripts.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
