Anti-OCRL

This gene encodes an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase. This protein is involved in regulating membrane trafficking and is located in numerous subcellular locations including the trans-Golgi network, clathrin-coated vesicles and, endosomes and the plasma membrane. This protein may also play a role in primary cilium formation. Mutations in this gene cause oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe and also Dent disease. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Protein function: Converts phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate. Also converts inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate to inositol 1,4-bisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4,5- tetrakisphosphate to inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate (PubMed:25869668, PubMed:7761412, PubMed:9430698). May function in lysosomal membrane trafficking by regulating the specific pool of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate that is associated with lysosomes. Involved in primary cilia assembly (PubMed:22228094, PubMed:22543976). [The UniProt Consortium]
