Clathrin light chain + heavy chain Products

Description

Clathrin is a large, soluble protein composed of heavy and light chains. It functions as the main structural component of the lattice-type cytoplasmic face of coated pits and vesicles which entrap specific macromolecules during receptor-mediated endocytosis. This gene encodes one of two clathrin light chain proteins which are believed to function as regulatory elements. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Transcript Variant: This variant (1) lacks alternate in-frame exons, compared to variant 2, resulting in a shorter protein (isoform a), compared to isoform b.
