Cln6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable lysophosphatidic acid binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and sulfatide binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cholesterol metabolic process; ganglioside metabolic process; and lysosomal lumen acidification. Predicted to act upstream of or within locomotion involved in locomotory behavior; macromolecule catabolic process; and visual perception. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including early endosome; endoplasmic reticulum lumen; and membrane raft. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis; neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 6A; and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 6B. Orthologous to human CLN6 (CLN6 transmembrane ER protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 Cln6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
