Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene, originally isolated from testis, is also expressed in retina. Mutations in this gene are associated with Leber congenital amaurosis and juvenile retinitis pigmentosa. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010].
- UniProt Summary: Involved in photoreceptor cells maintenance (By similarity). It is required for recruitment and proper localization of RPGRIP1 to the photoreceptor connecting cilium (CC), as well as protein trafficking across the CC to the outer segments (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80VP2}.
