Gene information for Clta (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID12757
Official gene symbolClta
Full nameclathrin, light polypeptide (Lca)
AliasesAV026556
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 encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
