Gene information for MFSD8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID256471
Official gene symbolMFSD8
Full namemajor facilitator superfamily domain containing 8
Aliases,CLN7,MGC33302,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a ubiquitous integral membrane protein that contains a transporter domain and a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain. Other members of the major facilitator superfamily transport small solutes through chemiosmotic ion gradients. The substrate transported by this protein is unknown. The protein likely localizes to lysosomal membranes. Mutations in this gene are correlated with a variant form of late infantile-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (vLINCL). [provided by RefSeq]
