Summary: Acts upstream of or within several processes, including flagellated sperm motility; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and photoreceptor cell outer segment organization. Located in several cellular components, including centriole; ciliary base; and photoreceptor distal connecting cilium. Used to study nephronophthisis 4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome 4; Senior-Loken syndrome; congenital heart disease; nephronophthisis; and nephronophthisis 4. Orthologous to human NPHP4 (nephrocystin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

A mutation in NPHP4 in mice does not result in renal defects which are observed in human patients with mutations in NPHP4, but they do develop severe photoreceptor degeneration and extinguished rod and cone ERG responses.
Title: NPHP4 is necessary for normal photoreceptor ribbon synapse maintenance and outer segment formation, and for sperm development.
retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator interacting protein 1 and nephrocystin-4 interact strongly in vitro and in vivo, and that they colocalize in the retina
Title: Interaction of nephrocystin-4 and RPGRIP1 is disrupted by nephronophthisis or Leber congenital amaurosis-associated mutations.
Recessive mutations in the NPHP4 gene, encoding the protein nephroretinin, in humans cause nephronophthisis type 4 and Senior-Loken. There is evolutionary conservation of the NPHP4 gene, with an orhtolog in C. elegans.
Title: A gene mutated in nephronophthisis and retinitis pigmentosa encodes a novel protein, nephroretinin, conserved in evolution.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
