Protein
Clathrin light chain
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Clathrin is the major protein of the polyhedral coat of coated pits and vesicles. In yeast, it is involved in the retention of proteins in an intracellular membrane compartment, presumably the trans-Golgi. The yeast light chain is important for cell growth. The light chain may help to properly orient the assembly/ disassembly of the clathrin coats.
Similarity
Belongs to the clathrin light chain family.
