Primary Identifier | MGI:1920020 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 68642 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in cilium assembly. Located in ciliary transition zone. Part of MKS complex. Is expressed in embryo and optic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome; Joubert syndrome 2; and Meckel syndrome 2. Orthologous to human TMEM216 (transmembrane protein 216). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display postnatal lethality with multiple abnormalities arising from ciliary defects.
