Functional category

• Ciliary assembly/disassembly
• Actin & cytoskeleton regulation
• Signaling (Hedgehog, GPCRs, ion channels)
• Ciliary membrane

Function

Positive regulator of the Hh signalling pathway, interacting with Smo and promoting Sufu/Gli3 dissociation and Gli3 ciliary traffic (17660199, 23026747, 21356043, 22986504,22981989). Mutated in Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (21356043). EVC1 and EVC2 are mutually required for localizing to primary cilia and also for maintaining their normal protein levels (23026747).
