The CLN8 gene provides instructions for making a protein whose precise function is not known but that is thought to play a transport role within cells. Specifically, the CLN8 protein likely helps to move materials in and out of a cell structure calle READ MORE

The CLPB gene provides instructions for making a protein whose function is unknown. The CLPB protein is found in cells throughout the body but is most abundant in the brain. Based on its similarity to a protein in other organisms, researchers specula READ MORE

The CLPP gene provides instructions for making the ClpP subunit protein. Multiple copies of this protein interact with each other to form a barrel-shaped chamber known as the ClpP complex. This complex is one of two parts of the ClpXP protease, which READ MORE

The CLRN1 gene provides information for making a protein called clarin 1. This protein is probably involved in normal hearing and vision. Clarin 1 has been found in several areas of the body, including sensory cells in the inner ear called hair cells READ MORE

The CNBP gene provides instructions for making a protein called CCHC-type zinc finger nucleic acid binding protein. This protein has seven regions, called zinc finger domains, which are thought to attach (bind) to specific sites on DNA and its chemic READ MORE

The CNGA3 gene provides instructions for making one part (the alpha subunit) of the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel. These channels are found exclusively in light-sensing (photoreceptor) cells called cones, which are located in a specialized ti READ MORE

The CNGB3 gene provides instructions for making one part (the beta subunit) of the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel. These channels are found exclusively in light-sensing (photoreceptor) cells called cones, which are located in a specialized tis READ MORE

The COG4 gene provides instructions for making a protein called component of oligomeric Golgi complex 4 (COG4). As its name suggests, COG4 is one piece of a group of proteins known as the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex. This complex is impo READ MORE

The COG5 gene provides instructions for making a protein called component of oligomeric Golgi complex 5 (COG5). As its name suggests, COG5 is one piece of a group of proteins known as the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex. This complex functio READ MORE

The COL11A1 gene provides instructions for making a component of type XI collagen called the pro-alpha1(XI) chain. Collagens are molecules that provide structure and strength to the connective tissues that support the body's muscles, joints, organs, READ MORE

The COL11A2 gene provides instructions for making a component of type XI collagen called the pro-alpha2(XI) chain. Collagens are molecules that provide structure and strength to the connective tissues that support the body's muscles, joints, organs, READ MORE

The COL17A1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is used to assemble type XVII collagen. Collagens are a family of proteins that strengthen and support connective tissues, such as skin, bone, tendons, and ligaments, throughout the bod READ MORE
