gene: osm-12 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Involved in chemotaxis; cilium organization; and protein localization to microvillus membrane. Located in ciliary basal body; neuron projection; and non-motile cilium. Expressed in ciliated neurons and sensory neurons. Used to study Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7. Is an ortholog of human BBS7 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7).
