Function

ASNSD1 contributes to cell physiology mainly through its uORF-encoded microprotein ASDURF, which is an integral subunit of the PAQosome prefoldin-like module. Because this chaperone system participates in folding and assembly of proteins required for cilia formation, maintenance, and motility, alterations in ASNSD1/ASDURF may influence ciliary biology. Therefore, ASNSD1 and ASDURF represent emerging ciliary gene candidates, with increasing evidence connecting PAQosome dysfunction to ciliopathies(PMID: 38176414, PMID: 31738558).
