Cltc Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including ankyrin binding activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase binding activity. Involved in Golgi organization; endocytosis; and mitotic cell cycle. Located in T-tubule and spindle. Part of clathrin coat. Is extrinsic component of synaptic vesicle membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 56. Orthologous to human CLTC (clathrin heavy chain).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Cltc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
