Protein CLN8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLN8 gene.

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. CLN8 protein functions as a cargo receptor for lysosomal soluble proteins in the ER.

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.
