General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Thought to transport cystine out of lysosomes. |
| Subcellular location | |
| Tissue specificity | Strongly expressed in pancreas, kidney (adult and fetal) and in skeletal muscle. Expressed at lower levels in placenta and heart. Weakly expressed in lung, liver and brain (adult and fetal). |
| Involvement in disease | Cystinosis, nephropathic type (CTNS) [MIM:219800]: A form of cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disease due to defective transport of cystine across the lysosomal membrane. This results in cystine accumulation and crystallization in the cells causing widespread tissue damage. The classical nephropathic form has onset in the first year of life and is characterized by a polyuro-polydipsic syndrome, marked height-weight growth delay, generalized impaired proximal tubular reabsorptive capacity, with severe fluid-electrolyte balance alterations, renal failure, ocular symptoms and other systemic complications. Cystinosis, adult, non-nephropathic type (CTNSANN) [MIM:219750]: A form of cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disease due to defective transport of cystine across the lysosomal membrane. This results in cystine accumulation and crystallization in the cells causing widespread tissue damage. Cystinosis adult non-nephropathic type is characterized by ocular features and a benigne course. Patients manifest mild photophobia due to conjunctival and corneal cystine crystals. Cystinosis, late-onset juvenile or adolescent nephropathic type (CTNSJAN) [MIM:219900]: A form of cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disease due to defective transport of cystine across the lysosomal membrane. This results in cystine accumulation and crystallization in the cells causing widespread tissue damage. Late-onset juvenile or adolescent nephropathic cystinosis is an intermediated form, manifesting first at age 10 to 12 years with proteinuria due to glomerular damage rather than with the manifestations of tubular damage that occur first in infantile cystinosis. There is no excess amino aciduria and stature is normal. Photophobia, late development of pigmentary retinopathy, and chronic headaches are features. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the cystinosin family. Contains 2 PQ-loop domains. |
Ontologies
Alternative products
| This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select] | ||||||
| Isoform 1 (identifier: O60931-1) This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry. | ||||||
| Isoform 2 (identifier: O60931-2) The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 363-367: YDQLN → LQAARTGSGSRLRQDWAPSLQPKALPQTTSVSASSLKG |
