ID:CLN6_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Ceroid-lipofuscinosis neuronal protein 6; Short=Protein CLN6; SUBUNIT: Interacts with CRMP2. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. DISEASE: Defects in CLN6 are the cause of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 6 (CLN6) [MIM:601780]. A form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are progressive neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage diseases characterized by intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent liposomal material, and clinically by seizures, dementia, visual loss, and/or cerebral atrophy. The lipopigment patterns observed most often in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 6 comprise mixed combinations of granular, curvilinear, and fingerprint profiles. DISEASE: Defects in CLN6 are the cause of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 4A (CLN4A) [MIM:204300]. An adult-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are progressive neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage diseases characterized by intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent liposomal material, and clinically by seizures, dementia, visual loss, and/or cerebral atrophy. CLN4A has no visual involvement and is characterized by progressive myoclonic epilepsy.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
