tub-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Involved in positive regulation of neurogenesis and receptor localization to non-motile cilium. Located in cytoplasm; non-motile cilium; and periciliary membrane compartment. Expressed in neurons. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 15; obesity; and retinitis pigmentosa 14. Is an ortholog of human TUB (TUB bipartite transcription factor); TULP1 (TUB like protein 1); and TULP3 (TUB like protein 3).
