Phenotypes

Human ciliopathy phenotype:
obesity

Subcellular localization

cilia associated gene

Functional category

  • Ciliary assembly/disassembly
  • Neurogenesis & migration
  • Signaling (Hedgehog, GPCRs, ion channels)
  • Cardiac & muscle development
  • Axon guidance & growth
  • Transcription regulation

Function

TrkB is localized to the axonemes or basal bodies of cilia only in the presence of BDNF ( 24867303).

Model organism evidence

Mus musculus (1 reference)

Lysosomal glucocerebrosidase is needed for ciliary Hedgehog signaling: A convergent pathway contributing to Parkinson's disease.
