CLTC (Clathrin heavy chain 1) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Breast cancer, Renal cell carcinoma, Hepatocellular carcinoma and 5 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

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. Acts as a component of the TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex proposed to contribute to stabilisation of kinetochore fibres of the mitotic spindle by acting as inter-microtubule bridge. The TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex is required for the maintenance of kinetochore fibre tension. Plays a role in early autophagosome formation. Interaction with DNAJC6 mediates the recruitment of HSPA8 to the clathrin lattice and creates local destabilisation of the lattice promoting uncoating. Location: Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Membrane, coated pit; Melanosome; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle (UniProt). Locus 17q23.1 (HGNC).
