Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionosm-12 encodes a protein that is an ortholog to human BBS7; osm-12 along with bbs-8 is required for cilia biogenesis and function, accordingly, osm-12 mutant animals display odorant chemotaxis defects; oms-12 and bbs-8 are required for intraflagellar transport (IFT) and the motility and function of IFT proteins like OSM-5, CHE-11 and CHE-2; in addition to the sensory defects exhibited by bbs mutants, osm-12 and bbs-8 mutants also show reduced body size, developmental delay, and altered roaming, which are rescued by mutations in the guanylate complex GCY-35/GCY-36, suggesting that BBS proteins may regulate cGMP signaling; OSM-12 is expressed exclusively in ciliated sensory neurons, where it localizes predominantly to the base of cilia, known as the ciliary transition zone; DNA sequences upstream of osm-12 contain X box DNA binding sites, suggesting that osm-12 expression may be regulated by the DAF-19 RFX-type transcription factor.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00024240

Automated_descriptionInvolved 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).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceThe human ortholog BBS7 is mutated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7; Bardet-Biedl syndrome phenotypes include retinal degeneration, obesity, renal malformations, polydactyly and learning disabilities; studies in the worm have contributed extensively to the finding that cystic kidney diseases can be considered ciliopathies; most of the known BBS proteins in human and elegans encode basal body or cilia proteins involved in ciliary structure and function including intraflagellar transport (IFT); studies in C. elegans indicate that transcription of BBS proteins is regulated by a RFX-transcription factor and that some BBS proteins may also regulate GCY-35/GCY-36 cGMP signaling which can affect BBS mutant gene phenotypes.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00040341
