Gene information for CLTA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1211
Official gene symbolCLTA
Full nameclathrin, light chain A
Aliases,LCA,
Gene summaryClathrin is a large, soluble protein composed of heavy and light chains. It functions as the main structural component of the lattice-type cytoplasmic face of coated pits and vesicles which entrap specific macromolecules during receptor-mediated endocytosis. This gene encodes one of two clathrin light chain proteins which are believed to function as regulatory elements. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 8 and 12. [provided by RefSeq]
