Gene information for LGSN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51557
Official gene symbolLGSN
Full namelengsin, lens protein with glutamine synthetase domain
Aliases,GLULD1,LGS,MGC163238,MGC163240,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein with similarity to the GS I members of the glutamine synthetase superfamily. The encoded protein is referred to as a pseudo-glutamine synthetase because it has no glutamine synthesis activity and may function as a chaperone protein. This protein is localized to the lens and may be associated with cataract disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
