NCIt synonyms : CHC17; Clathrin, Heavy Chain Gene; Clathrin, Heavy Chain (Hc) Gene; CLTCL2; Clathrin, Heavy Polypeptide (Hc) Gene; CHC; CLH-17; KIAA0034; Clathrin, Heavy Polypeptide-Like 2 Gene; Clathrin Heavy Chain wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human CLTC wild-type allele is located within 17q11-qter and is approximately 77 kb
in length. This allele, which encodes clathrin heavy chain 1 protein, is involved
in both receptor-mediated endocytosis and vesicle formation. A translocation t(2;17)(p23;q23)
of this gene and the ALK gene is associated with anaplastic large cell lymphoma and
inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors. Xp11 translocated renal carcinomas are associated
with a translocation t(X;17)(p11;q23) of this gene and the TFE3 gene.;
