TMEM67 transmembrane protein 67

Gene ID: 91147, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MKS3; JBTS6; NPHP11; TNEM67; MECKELIN

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the primary cilium and to the plasma membrane. The gene functions in centriole migration to the apical membrane and formation of the primary cilium. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of Meckel syndrome type 3 (MKS3) and Joubert syndrome type 6 (JBTS6).
