Gene information for CLN5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1203
Official gene symbolCLN5
Full nameceroid-lipofuscinosis, neuronal 5
Aliases,FLJ90628,NCL,
Gene summaryThis gene is one of eight which have been associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL). Also referred to as Batten disease, NCL comprises a class of autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorders affecting children. The genes responsible likely encode proteins involved in the degradation of post-translationally modified proteins in lysosomes. The primary defect in NCL disorders is thought to be associated with lysosomal storage function.
