{"symbol":"M6PR","synonyms":["MPR 46","CD-MPR","SMPR","MPR46","MPR-46","CD-M6PR"],"name":"mannose-6-phosphate receptor (cation dependent)","description":"This gene encodes a member of the P-type lectin family. P-type lectins play a critical role in lysosome function through the specific transport of mannose-6-phosphate-containing acid hydrolases from the Golgi complex to lysosomes. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer and requires divalent cations for ligand binding. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome X.
