Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionctns-1 encodes an ortholog of the human cystinosin (CTNS) gene, a lysosomal cystine transporter (LCT); in C. elegans, ctns-1 is required for the proper export of hydrolytic degradation products from lysosomes, specifically, for the efflux of cystine from lysosomes.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00013614

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable L-cystine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in L-cystine transport; lysosome organization; and phagocytosis. Located in lysosomal membrane. Used to study cystinosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cystinosis. Is an ortholog of human CTNS (cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMutations in human Cystinosin (CTNS), a lysosomal membrane protein, believed to be a cystine transporter, cause Cystinosis, a condition characterized by accumulation of the amino acid cystine, within cells; excess cystine damages cells and often forms crystals, causing damage to the kidney, eyes, muscles, pancreas and testes; there are three distinct types of cystinosis, in order of decreasing severity, they are: nephropathic cystinosis, intermediate cystinosis, and non-nephropathic or ocular cystinosis; cysteamine (an aminothiol), a therapeutic agent for cystinosis converts lysosomal free cystine to cysteine and the mixed disulfide of cysteine-cysteamine, which is thought to be exported from lysosomes as a lysine analog through a lysine/cationic amino acid transporter; in C. elegans, lysosomes purified from ctns-1(ok813) mutants (ctns-1 is ortholgous to human CTNS), showed cystine accumulation, suggesting that CTNS-1 mediates cystine efflux from lysosomes like human cystinosin; another protein, LAAT-1 in elegans is orthologous to human PQLC2, the putative lysine and arginine transporter; in laat-1(qx42) ctns-1(ok813) double mutants, however, cysteamine failed to deplete lysosomal cystine and suppress enlarged lysosomes, which accumulated high levels of cystine and the lysine analog mixed disulfide of cysteine-cysteamine; further, laat-1 embryos show retarded development and defective lysosomal yolk degradation; thus C. elegans serves as a genetic model to study the role of lysosomal amino acid transporters under normal and disease states.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00041321

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
