Protein Domain : Transmembrane protein 237 IPR029409

Type	Family
Description	This entry represents a group of eukaryotic proteins that aid the production of new cilia in ciliogenesis. Mutations in the human protein cause a disease named Joubert syndrome type 14 (JBTS14), which is an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by severe mental retardation, hypotonia, breathing abnormalities in infancy, and dysmorphic facial features [ ]. Loss of the mammalian TMEM237 results in defective ciliogenesis and deregulation of Wnt signaling []. Proteins in this family are typically between 203 and 512 amino acids in length. There are two completely conserved G residues that may be functionally important.
Short Name	TMEM237
