Background
Clavesin (clathrin vesicle associated Sec14 protein) is a novel neuron specific protein that has recently been identified and shown to be required for normal morphology of late endosomes and/or lysosomes as lentiviral-mediated knockdown of clavesin in hippocampal neurons causes lysosomal defects (Katoh et al., 2009). Additionally, upregulation of clavesin in human hepatocellular carcinoma has recently been demonstrated thus making it a useful marker for this disease state (Zhao et al., 2008).Synonyms: C6orf212, C6orf213, CLVS1, CLVS2, CRALBPL, Cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein-like, RLBP1L1, RLBP1L2, Retinaldehyde-binding protein 1-like 1/2
