| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in cilium assembly; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and protein transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium assembly; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and retina development in camera-type eye. Located in microtubule organizing center and photoreceptor cell cilium. Part of MKS complex. Is active in rod photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in metanephros. Used to study Joubert syndrome 5; Leber congenital amaurosis 10; cystic kidney disease; nephronophthisis; and visceral heterotaxy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Bardet-Biedl syndrome 14; Joubert syndrome 5; Leber congenital amaurosis 10; Meckel syndrome 4; and Senior-Loken syndrome. Orthologous to human CEP290 (centrosomal protein 290). PHENOTYPE: Mutant mice display mislocalization of ciliary and phototransduction proteins resulting in early-onset retinal degeneration. Heterotaxy with transposition of the great arteries (TGA), atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), left bronchial isomerism, and hypoplastic spleen is also seen. [provided by MGI curators] |
