About This Section

EntrezGene summary for LACRT:
The protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in the lacrimal glands and localized primarily
to secretory granules and secretory fluid. It augments lacrimal acinar cell secretion, promotes
ductal cell proliferation, and stimulates signaling through tyrosine phosphorylation and release
of calcium. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: LACRT_HUMAN, Q9GZZ8
Function: Modulates secretion by lacrimal acinar cells
