Bbs1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; phosphoprotein binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including non-motile cilium assembly; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and regulation of cilium beat frequency involved in ciliary motility. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport; nervous system development; and olfactory behavior. Predicted to be located in centriolar satellite; ciliary membrane; and motile cilium. Predicted to be part of BBSome. Predicted to be active in axoneme and centrosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome and Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1. Orthologous to human BBS1 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1).

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 Bbs1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
