DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

LENG8 (Leukocyte Receptor Cluster Member 8) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19q13.42. An important paralog of this gene is MCM3AP.

General informationThis section has been translated automatically.

The encoded protein is probably part of a proteinaceous complex that is active in the nucleus.

Diseases associated with LENG8 include combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 8 and immunodeficiency, often variable, 1.

SNPs in LENG8 have been detected in endemic pemphigus foliaceus (Farias TDJ et al. 2019).
