Phenotypes

Human ciliopathy phenotype:
primary ciliary dyskinesia

Ciliopathy associations

  • Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Subcellular localization

basal body, cilia

Functional category

  • Ciliary assembly/disassembly
  • Actin & cytoskeleton regulation
  • Reproduction & sperm
  • Protein processing & maturation

Function

Role in the proper formation and function of ciliary and flagellar axonemes in humans, preserving the integrity of the central complex of motile cilia and flagella (27486783)

Model organism evidence

Mus musculus (3 references)

Not only was the lethal phenotype of hydrocephalus suppressed, but we also found that Dnajb13 is required for sperm cilia formation.

Western blotting and immunohistochemistry determined that the DNAJB13 protein, which was located in the cytoplasm of spermatids and the sperm flagellum, was detectable from postnatal week 4.
