Source: NCBI Gene (ID 79809)
Symbol: TTC21B
Full name: tetratricopeptide repeat domain 21B
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: ATD4; CFAP60; FAP60; FLA17; IFT139; IFT139B; JBTS11; NPHP12; Nbla10696; SRTD4; THM1
Summary: This gene encodes a member of TTC21 family, containing several tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains. This protein is localized to the cilium axoneme, and may play a role in retrograde intraflagellar transport in cilia. Mutations in this gene are associated with various ciliopathies, nephronophthisis 12, and asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 4. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
