BBS9 Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9

Gene ID: 27241, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: B1; D1; C18; PTHB1

Summary

This gene is downregulated by parathyroid hormone in osteoblastic cells, and therefore is thought to be involved in parathyroid hormone action in bones. The exact function of this gene has not yet been determined. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]
