Symbol: Alms1
Full name: ALMS1, centrosome and basal body associated
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: bbb
Summary: Enables alpha-actinin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; gamete generation; and neuron development. Predicted to be active in centriole; centrosome; and cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Used to study Alstrom syndrome and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alstrom syndrome. Orthologous to human ALMS1 (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
