Protein CLN8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLN8 gene.[5][6]

Molecular biology

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and recycles between the ER and the Golgi apparatus via COPII- and COPI-coated vesicles.[7] CLN8 protein functions as a cargo receptor for lysosomal soluble proteins in the ER.[7] CLN8 proteins pair with CLN6 proteins to form the EGRESS complex (ER-to-Golgi relaying of enzymes of the lysosomal system), the functional unit responsible for the export of lysosomal enzymes from the endoplasmic reticulum.[8]

Clinical

Mutations in this gene are associated with

progressive epilepsy with mental retardation (EPMR), a subtype of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL). Patients with mutations in this gene have altered levels of sphingolipid and phospholipids in the brain
