Ortholog (36)
Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionbbs-9 is orthologous to the human parathyroid hormone-responsive B1 gene, also known as BBS9; bbs-9 apart from being required for proper cilium morphology and function, is also required, similar to bbs-1, bbs-5, and bbs-8, for the regulation of insulin release from sensory neurons; bbs-9 mutants exhibit an increased secretion of insulin, daf-7, a neurally expressed TGF-beta ligand, and flp-21, a FRMF-amide neuropeptide; accordingly mutants display body size, feeding and metabolic defects; increased secretion of bbs mutants requires the Rab27/AEX-6 dense-core vesicle exocytosis machinery; the metabolic and ciliary phenotypes of bbs-9 and similar bbs mutants indicate that normal ciliary function is required for detection of food-related stimuli along with the coordination of metabolic, growth and insulin-signaling pathways.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00040543

Automated_descriptionPredicted to be involved in cilium assembly. Located in ciliary basal body. Used to study Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9; craniosynostosis; and primary ovarian insufficiency. Is an ortholog of human BBS9 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceThe human ortholog, parathyroid hormone-responsive B1 gene, also known as BBS9 is mutated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9; Bardet-Biedl syndrome phenotypes include retinal degeneration, obesity, renal malformations, polydactyly and learning disabilities; studies in the worm have contributed extensively to the finding that cystic kidney diseases can be considered ciliopathies; most of the known BBS proteins in human and elegans encode basal body or cilia proteins involved in ciliary structure and function including intraflagellar transport (IFT); studies in C.elegans indicate that: BBS proteins may regulate GCY-35/GCY-36 cGMP signaling which can affect BBS mutant gene phenotypes; bbs proteins also regulate secretion of insulin, biogenic amines and neuropeptides, suggesting that some of the clinical manifestations of human BBS may result from excessive endocrine activity; transcription of BBS proteins is regulated by a RFX-transcription factor.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00040341

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
