Gene information for CLTB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1212
Official gene symbolCLTB
Full nameclathrin, light chain B
Aliases,LCB,
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. [provided by RefSeq]
