gene: mks-6 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Involved in non-motile cilium assembly and protein localization to ciliary transition zone. Located in ciliary transition zone and dendrite terminus. Expressed in ciliated neurons; head; and tail. Used to study ciliopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Joubert syndrome 9; Meckel syndrome 6; and retinitis pigmentosa. Is an ortholog of human CC2D2A (coiled-coil and C2 domain containing 2A) and CC2D2B (coiled-coil and C2 domain containing 2B).
