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]

CLN8 associates with CLN6 to form the EGRESS complex (ER-to-Golgi Relaying of Enzymes of the lySosomal System), the functional unit responsible for the recruitment of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes in the endoplasmic reticulum and their transfer to the Golgi complex.

CLN8 recruits lysosomal soluble proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), delivers them to the Golgi apparatus via COPII-coated vesicles, and recycles back to the ER via COPI-coated vesicles. CLN8 interacts with the lysosomal soluble proteins through its large luminal loop. The export signal of CLN8 (261VDWNF265) is localized in its cytosolic C-terminus. CLN8 deficiency results in depletion of enzymes at the lysosome.

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.
