Gene: SCLT1

Alternate names for this Gene: CAP-1A|CAP1A

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an adaptor protein. Studies of a related gene in rat suggest that the encoded protein functions to link clathrin to the sodium channel protein type 10 subunit alpha protein. The encoded protein has also been identified as a component of distal appendages of centrioles that is necessary for ciliogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4q28.2

Description of this Gene: sodium channel and clathrin linker 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
