Sdccag8 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in establishment of cell polarity; regulation of cilium assembly; and tube formation. Acts upstream of or within microtubule organizing center organization and neuron migration. Located in cytoplasm; microtubule organizing center; and photoreceptor cell cilium. Is expressed in brain. Used to study Bardet-Biedl syndrome 16 and nephronophthisis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 16 and Senior-Loken syndrome. Orthologous to human SDCCAG8 (SHH signaling and ciliogenesis regulator SDCCAG8).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Sdccag8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
