Primary Identifier | MGI:1913610 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 100503572 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including B cell homeostasis; eating behavior; and receptor localization to non-motile cilium. Predicted to be located in ciliary membrane and cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of BBSome. Used to study Bardet-Biedl syndrome 18. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 18. Orthologous to human BBIP1 (BBSome interacting protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display strain dependent postnatal lethality, obesity, hyperphagia, retinal degeneration and male infertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
