Summary: Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity and intraciliary transport particle A binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including phagocytosis, recognition; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and protein localization to non-motile cilium. Located in cytosol and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; endocrine gland; musculature; peripheral nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study obesity. Orthologous to human TUB (TUB bipartite transcription factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression: Biased expression in CNS E18 (RPKM 40.9), whole brain E14.5 (RPKM 30.4) and 8 other tissues See more

We found that the mutant Tub proteins were mostly localized to puncta found in the perinuclear region and that the C-terminus was important for its solubility. our results suggest that the malfunctions of the Tub mutant are caused by its misfolding and subsequent localization to aggresomes.

These results suggest that tubby is a ligand to facilitate microglial phagocytosis through MerTK for the maintenance of CNS homeostasis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
