Biology:MLC1
Generic protein structure example |
Membrane protein MLC1 (also called WKL1[1][2]) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MLC1 gene.[3][4]
MLC1 is one of four major genes associated with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC).[5] The other three are GPRC5B, HEPACAM, and AQP4.[6]
Function
The function of this gene product is not known; however, homology to other proteins suggests that it may be an integral membrane transport protein.[1] Mutations in this gene have been associated with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, an autosomal recessive neurological disorder.[5]
The MLC1 protein contains six putative transmembrane domains (S1–S6) and a pore region (P) between S5 and S6. Furthermore, MLC1 has highest homology with the KCNA1 shaker-related voltage-gated potassium channel (Kv1.1). This analysis suggests that MLC1 may be a cation channel.[1][needs update]
