Function

Neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (CD56). ARL13B-TurboID neuronal-cilia hit, immunostaining-validated; dynamically cycles into cilia and accumulates as a continuous distribution when BBSome retrieval is blocked in Bbs4-/- neurons (Chang et al. 2026, Sci Adv), indicating active ciliary adhesion-molecule turnover.
