TMEM107 transmembrane protein 107

Gene ID: 84314, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MKS13; JBTS29; GRVS638; PRO1268

Summary

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein and component of the primary cilia transition zone. The encoded protein regulates ciliogenesis and ciliary protein composition. Human fibroblasts expressing a mutant allele of this gene exhibit reduced numbers of cilia, altered cilia length, and impaired sonic hedgehog signaling. In human patients, different mutations in this gene cause different ciliopathies, including Meckel-Gruber syndrome and orofaciodigital syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]
