| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including fat cell differentiation; negative regulation of appetite by leptin-mediated signaling pathway; and regulation of cilium beat frequency involved in ciliary motility. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel diameter maintenance; brain development; and cilium assembly. Located in several cellular components, including microvillus; motile cilium; and stereocilium. Part of BBSome. Is expressed in central nervous system; early embryo; and retina. Used to study Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome; Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2; obesity; and retinitis pigmentosa 74. Orthologous to human BBS2 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display obesity associated with polyphagia, retinopathy associated with mislocalization of rhodopsin, cilia defects, renal cysts, male sterility, abnormal brain neuroanatomy, reduced salivation and acoustic startle response, an olfactory deficit and abnormal social interaction.
