arl-13 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and GTPase activity. Involved in cilium organization; receptor localization to non-motile cilium; and sensory perception of chemical stimulus. Acts upstream of or within motile cilium assembly. Located in plasma membrane bounded cell projection. Expressed in ciliated neurons and head. Used to study Joubert syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome 8. Is an ortholog of human ARL13B (ADP ribosylation factor like GTPase 13B).
