LGSN, Official Symbol LGSNprovided by HGNC Official Full Name lengsin, lens protein with glutamine synthetase domainprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:21016 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000146166 MIM:611470; AllianceGenome:HGNC:21016 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as LGS; GLULD1 Summary This gene encodes a protein with similarity to the GS I members of the glutamine synthetase superfamily. The encoded protein is referred to as a pseudo-glutamine synthetase because it has no glutamine synthesis activity and may function as a chaperone protein. This protein is localized to the lens and may be associated with cataract disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
