CLTC

MIM.118955 17q23

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.

Clathrin molecules have a triskelion structure composed of 3 noncovalently bound heavy chains (CLTC) and 3 light chains (CLTA, CLTB).
