Bbs7 - Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7 (human)

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; fat cell differentiation; and primary palate development. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; nucleus; and photoreceptor outer segment. Part of BBSome. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; central nervous system; eye; ovary; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome and Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7. Orthologous to human BBS7 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7).
