Ctns - cystinosis, nephropathic

Enables L-cystine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in positive regulation of TORC1 signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; grooming behavior; and learning or memory. Located in lysosome. Used to study cystinosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cystinosis. Orthologous to human CTNS (cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
