gene: mks-5 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Involved in several processes, including non-motile cilium assembly; protein localization to cilium; and protein to membrane docking. Located in ciliary basal body and ciliary transition zone. Expressed in chemosensory neurons and ciliated neurons. Used to study ciliopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Joubert syndrome 7; Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; and retinal disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human RPGRIP1L (RPGRIP1 like).
