POC1B POC1 centriolar protein B

Gene ID: 282809, updated on 19-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PIX1; CORD20; TUWD12; WDR51B

Summary

POC1 proteins contain an N-terminal WD40 domain and a C-terminal coiled coil domain and are part of centrosomes. They play an important role in basal body and cilia formation. This gene encodes one of the two POC1 proteins found in humans. Mutation in this gene result in autosomal-recessive cone-rod dystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
