| Summary | This gene encodes a transmembrane protein called battenin that is involved in lysosomal function. Mutations in this, as well as other neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis genes, cause a number of neurodegenerative diseases collectively known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, the most common of which is juvenile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (Batten disease). Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]. |
