Background
Carbohydrate kinase-like (CARKL) has contains motifs showing weak similarity to 2 domains of the FGGY family of carbohydrate kinases, a class of proteins involved in the phosphorylation of sugars as they enter a cell, inhibiting return across the cell membrane. Sequence variation between this protein and known carbohydrate kinases suggests the possibility of a different substrate, cofactor or changes in kinetic properties distinguishing it from other carbohydrate kinases. The gene for CARKL resides in a region commonly deleted in cystinosis patients, suggesting a role as a modifier for the cystinosis phenotype. The genomic region is also rich in Alu repetitive sequences, frequently involved in chromosomal rearrangements. This protein is strongly expressed in liver, kidney and pancreas, at lower levels in placenta and heart, and neglibly in lung and brain.
