LCT - lactase Gene
Also Known as LAC; LPH; LPH1
Species: Homo sapiens
About LCT
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 278 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in duodenum (RPKM 121.7) and small intestine (RPKM 73.8).
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 1 family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature enzyme. This enzyme is integral to the plasma membrane and has both phlorizin hydrolase activity and lactase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital lactase deficiency. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with lactase persistence, in which intestinal lactase activity persists at childhood levels into adulthood. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
