Battenin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLN3gene located on chromosome 16.[5][6] Battenin is not clustered into any Pfam clan, but it is included in the TCDB suggesting that it is a transporter.[7] In humans, it belongs to the atypical SLCs[7][8] due to its structural and phylogenetic similarity to other SLC transporters.
