Gene data
CTNS- Name
- cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- CTNS-LSB, PQLC4, SLC66A4
This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane domain protein that functions to transport cystine out of lysosomes. Its activity is driven by the H+ electrochemical gradient of the lysosomal membrane. Mutations in this gene cause cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009].
