BBS10

Bardet-Biedl syndrome 10, also known as BBS10 is a human is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The Bardet-Biedl syndrome 10 protein has distant sequence homology to type II is_associated_with::chaperonins. As a molecular chaperone, this protein may affect the folding or stability of other ciliary or basal body proteins. Inhibition of this protein's expression impairs ciliogenesis in preis_associated_with::adipocytes.

Clinical significance
Mutations in this gene are associated with the is_associated_with::Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
