Summary: Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including TORC1 signaling; autophagosome maturation; and regulation of cellular catabolic process. Located in lysosome and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; gut; and respiratory system. Used to study neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 7. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 7. Orthologous to human MFSD8 (major facilitator superfamily domain containing 8).

Quantification revealed that the amounts of 12 different soluble lysosomal proteins were significantly reduced in Cln7 ko MEFs compared with wild-type controls. One of the most significantly depleted lysosomal proteins was Cln5 protein that underlies another distinct neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis disorder

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
