OCRL OCRL inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase

Gene ID: 4952, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LOCR; DENT2; NPHL2; OCRL1; Dent-2; INPP5F; OCRL-1

Summary

This gene encodes an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase. This protein is involved in regulating membrane trafficking and is located in numerous subcellular locations including the trans-Golgi network, clathrin-coated vesicles and, endosomes and the plasma membrane. This protein may also play a role in primary cilium formation. Mutations in this gene cause oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe and also Dent disease. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
