BBS10

Bardet-Biedl syndrome 10, also known as BBS10 is a human gene.[1]

Function

Function

The Bardet-Biedl syndrome 10 protein has distant sequence homology to type II chaperonins. As a molecular chaperone, this protein may affect the folding or stability of other ciliary or basal body proteins. Inhibition of this protein’s expression impairs ciliogenesis in preadipocytes.[2][3]

Clinical significance

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene are associated with the Bardet-Biedl syndrome.[1]
