Bbs5 - Bardet-Biedl syndrome 5

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly and intracellular transport. Predicted to be located in axoneme and centriolar satellite. 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 and Bardet-Biedl syndrome 5. Orthologous to human BBS5 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 5).
