Bbs4 - Bardet-Biedl syndrome 4

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in protein localization to centrosome. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including ciliary membrane; microtubule organizing center; and photoreceptor cell cilium. Predicted to be part of BBSome. Predicted to be active in ciliary basal body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 4; morbid obesity; and obesity. Orthologous to human BBS4 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
