gene: bbs-8 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Involved in several processes, including cilium organization; olfactory learning; and regulation of cellular localization. Located in cilium and dendrite terminus. Expressed in ciliated neurons; head; and sensory neurons. Used to study Bardet-Biedl syndrome and ciliopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 8 and retinitis pigmentosa 51. Is an ortholog of human TTC8 (tetratricopeptide repeat domain 8).
