Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionnphp-4 encodes an ortholog of human NPHP4 (OMIM:607215, mutated injuvenile nephronophthisis and Senior-Loken syndrome-4) that is requiredfor normal chemotaxis, lifespan, and male mating behavior; NPHP-4 isexpressed in diverse neurons (amphid and phasmid sensory, URX, labial,male lumbar and cloacal ganglia, and male-specific CEM, HOB and RnB);within neurons, NPHP-4 is a ciliary protein, localized to the transistionzone at cilial bases rather than ciliary axonemes, and absent fromsomata, axons, or dendrites; NPHP-4 colocalizes with NPHP-1 and PKD-2 inmale-specific sensory cilia, and is required for the normal ciliarylocalization of NPHP-1; NPHP-4 expression requires DAF-19, and mutating anX-box in nphp-4's promoter abolishes nphp-4 expression; NPHP-4 is requiredfor NPHP-1's localization to transistion zones; morphologically, nphp-4mutant cilia are normal, indicating a function for NPHP-4 in signaltransduction.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00024994

Automated_descriptionInvolved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; male mating behavior; and plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization. Located in ciliary basal body; ciliary transition zone; and non-motile cilium. Expressed in cloacal ganglion; neurons; and tail ganglion. Used to study Meckel syndrome and nephronophthisis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Joubert syndrome 4; Senior-Loken syndrome; and nephronophthisis 4. Is an ortholog of human NPHP4 (nephrocystin 4).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (44)
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
