Cdhr1 | Cadherin-related family member 1; Potential calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein. May be required for the structural integrity of the outer segment (OS) of photoreceptor cells. (859 aa) | ||||
Grk1 | Rhodopsin kinase GRK1; Retina-specific kinase involved in the signal turnoff via phosphorylation of rhodopsin (RHO), the G protein- coupled receptor that initiates the phototransduction cascade. This rapid desensitization is essential for scotopic vision and permits rapid adaptation to changes in illumination. May play a role in the maintenance of the outer nuclear layer in the retina ; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GPRK subfamily. (564 aa) | ||||
Mfsd2a | Sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine symporter 1; Sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) symporter, which plays an essential role for blood-brain barrier formation and function. Specifically expressed in endothelium of the blood-brain barrier of micro-vessels and transports LPC into the brain. Transport of LPC is essential because it constitutes the major mechanism by which docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid that is essential for normal brain growth and cognitive function, enters the brain. Transports LPC carrying long- chain fatty acids such LPC oleate and L [...] (534 aa) | ||||
Rabl2 | Rab-like protein 2A; Plays an essential role in male fertility, sperm intra- flagellar transport, and tail assembly. Binds, in a GTP-regulated manner, to a specific set of effector proteins including key proteins involved in cilia development and function and delivers them into the growing sperm tail. (223 aa) | ||||
Cabp4 | Calcium-binding protein 4; Involved in normal synaptic function through regulation of Ca(2+) influx and neurotransmitter release in photoreceptor synaptic terminals and in auditory transmission. Modulator of CACNA1D and CACNA1F, suppressing the calcium-dependent inactivation and shifting the activation range to more hyperpolarized voltages. (271 aa) | ||||
2610301B20Rik | Protein C8orf37 homolog; May be involved in photoreceptor outer segment disk morphogenesis. (209 aa) | ||||
Ttc26 | Intraflagellar transport protein 56; Component of the intraflagellar transport (IFT) complex B required for transport of proteins in the motile cilium. Required for transport of specific ciliary cargo proteins related to motility, while it is neither required for IFT complex B assembly or motion nor for cilium assembly. Required for efficient coupling between the accumulation of GLI2 and GLI3 at the ciliary tips and their dissociation from the negative regulator SUFU. Plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of the IFT complex B and the proper ciliary localization of the IFT compl [...] (554 aa) | ||||
Bbs1 | Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1 protein homolog; The BBSome complex is thought to function as a coat complex required for sorting of specific membrane proteins to the primary cilia. The BBSome complex is required for ciliogenesis but is dispensable for centriolar satellite function. This ciliogenic function is mediated in part by the Rab8 GDP/GTP exchange factor, which localizes to the basal body and contacts the BBSome. Rab8(GTP) enters the primary cilium and promotes extension of the ciliary membrane. Firstly the BBSome associates with the ciliary membrane and binds to RAB3IP/Rabin8, the gua [...] (593 aa) |
