Bbs9 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly; fat cell differentiation; and protein localization to cilium. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including ciliary membrane; ciliary transition zone; and microtubule organizing center. Predicted to be part of BBSome. Predicted to be active in membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome; Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9; craniosynostosis; and primary ovarian insufficiency. Orthologous to human BBS9 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9). [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 rat Bbs9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
