**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human CLN3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16p12.1 and is approximately 29 kb in length. This allele, which encodes battenin protein, is involved in microtubule-dependent transport of organelles. Deletions within the gene are associated with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 3 (Batten disease).
