Description

B9D2 encodes a component of the tectonic-like complex essential for ciliogenesis and ciliary function. It localizes to the transition zone of primary cilia and interacts with other ciliopathy-associated proteins such as MKS1 and TMEM216. Loss-of-function mutations lead to defects in ciliary signaling and are associated with Meckel syndrome type 10 and Joubert syndrome.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Meckel syndrome type 10 (MKS10) Loss of B9D2 disrupts ciliary transition zone integrity, impairing Hedgehog signaling and causing developmental defects. OMIM #611951; PMID: 21763481
Joubert syndrome Biallelic B9D2 mutations cause ciliary dysfunction leading to cerebellar vermis hypoplasia and retinal dystrophy. OMIM #611951; PMID: 21763481

Protein Summary

B9D2 is a 175-amino acid protein containing a B9 domain. It is a core component of the tectonic complex at the ciliary transition zone, essential for proper ciliary membrane composition and signaling. The protein interacts with MKS1, TMEM216, and other ciliopathy proteins to regulate ciliary gate function.
