Tctn1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in cilium assembly and protein localization to ciliary transition zone. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development; nervous system development; and regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Located in ciliary transition zone; extracellular space; and membrane. Part of MKS complex. Is expressed in several structures, including gut epithelium; neural tube; node; notochord; and somite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome 13. Orthologous to human TCTN1 (tectonic family member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Tctn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
