LACRT, Official Symbol LACRTprovided by HGNC Official Full Name lacritinprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:16430 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000135413 MIM:607360; AllianceGenome:HGNC:16430 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 Summary The protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in the lacrimal glands and localized primarily to secretory granules and secretory fluid. It augments lacrimal acinar cell secretion, promotes ductal cell proliferation, and stimulates signaling through tyrosine phosphorylation and release of calcium.
