Functional category

  • Ciliary assembly/disassembly
  • Trafficking (BBSome, small GTPases, vesicular transport, ATPases)
  • Neurogenesis & migration
  • Cell migration & adhesion
  • Signaling (Hedgehog, GPCRs, ion channels)
  • Axon guidance & growth
  • Transcription regulation

Function

Likely to provide signals to drive granule cell progenitor proliferation (22995307). It may be involved in neurogenesis and memory- encoding functions in dentate gyral granule cells (20875398).
