Full name | | lengsin, lens protein with glutamine synthetase domain |
Aliases | | ,GLULD1,LGS,MGC163238,MGC163240, |
Gene summary | | This 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] |
