Human Gene IQCB1 (ENST00000310864.11) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens IQ motif containing B1 (IQCB1), transcript variant 4, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001319107)
RefSeq Summary (NM_001023570): This gene encodes a nephrocystin protein that interacts with calmodulin and the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator protein. The encoded protein has a central coiled-coil region and two calmodulin-binding IQ domains. It is localized to the primary cilia of renal epithelial cells and connecting cilia of photoreceptor cells. The protein is thought to play a role in ciliary function. Defects in this gene result in Senior-Loken syndrome type 5. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016].

  ID: IQCB1_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=IQ calmodulin-binding motif-containing protein 1; AltName: Full=Nephrocystin-5; AltName: Full=p53 and DNA damage-regulated IQ motif protein; Short=PIQ;
FUNCTION: Involved in ciliogenesis (By similarity).
SUBUNIT: Interacts with calmodulin. Interacts with CEP290. Interacts with ATXN10. Interacts with NPHP1, INVS, NPHP4 and RPGRIP1L; these interactions likely require additional interactors.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, centrosome. Note=Localization to the centrosome depends on the interaction with CEP290.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitously expressed in fetal and adult tissues. Localized to the outer segments and connecting cilia of photoreceptor cells. Up-regulated in a number of primary colorectal and gastric tumors.
INDUCTION: Down-regulated by DNA damage in a p53-dependent manner.
DISEASE: Defects in IQCB1 are the cause of Senior-Loken syndrome type 5 (SLSN5) [MIM:609254]. SLSN is a renal-retinal disorder, characterized by progressive wasting of the filtering unit of the kidney (nephronophthisis), with or without medullary cystic renal disease, and progressive eye disease. Typically this disorder becomes apparent during the first year of life.
SIMILARITY: Contains 4 IQ domains.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAA04968.2; Type=Erroneous initiation;

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
