TCTN1 tectonic family member 1

Gene ID: 79600, updated on 10-Dec-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TECT1; JBTS13

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of secreted and transmembrane proteins. The orthologous gene in mouse functions downstream of smoothened and rab23 to modulate hedgehog signal transduction. This protein is a component of the tectonic-like complex, which forms a barrier between the ciliary axoneme and the basal body. A mutation in this gene was found in a family with Joubert syndrome-13. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
