Source: NCBI Gene (ID 83429)
Symbol: Ctns
Full name: cystinosis, nephropathic
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Summary: Enables L-cystine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in positive regulation of TORC1 signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; grooming behavior; and learning or memory. Located in lysosome. Used to study cystinosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cystinosis. Orthologous to human CTNS (cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
