TMEM231 transmembrane protein 231

Gene ID: 79583, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MKS11; JBTS20; ALYE870; PRO1886

Summary

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein, which is a component of the B9 complex involved in the formation of the diffusion barrier between the cilia and plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause Joubert syndrome (JBTS). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
