Description: Homo sapiens clathrin, heavy chain (Hc) (CLTC), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_004859): Clathrin is a major protein component of the cytoplasmic face of intracellular organelles, called coated vesicles and coated pits. These specialized organelles are involved in the intracellular trafficking of receptors and endocytosis of a variety of macromolecules. The basic subunit of the clathrin coat is composed of three heavy chains and three light chains. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr17:57,697,050-57,774,317 Size: 77,268 Total Exon Count: 32 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr17:57,697,493-57,771,213 Size: 73,721 Coding Exon Count: 32
ID:CLH1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Clathrin heavy chain 1; AltName: Full=Clathrin heavy chain on chromosome 17; Short=CLH-17; FUNCTION: Clathrin is the major protein of the polyhedral coat of coated pits and vesicles. Two different adapter protein complexes link the clathrin lattice either to the plasma membrane or to the trans-Golgi network. SUBUNIT: Clathrin triskelions, composed of 3 heavy chains and 3 light chains, are the basic subunits of the clathrin coat. In the presence of light chains, hub assembly is influenced by both the pH and the concentration of calcium. Interacts with HIP1. Interacts with DENND1A, DENND1B and DENND1C (By similarity). May interact with OCRL. Interacts with ERBB2 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Membrane, coated pit; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Melanosome. Note=Cytoplasmic face of coated pits and vesicles. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the clathrin heavy chain family.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
