Function

Also known as BBS6. Associated with Bardet-Biedl and McKusick-Kaufman syndromes. Chaperonin-like BBS protein necessary for BBSome assembly in associationg with BBS10 and BBS12, and required for the stability of BBS2 and BBS7 (20080638). Interacts with CEP290 in the ciliary transition zone to mediate ciliogenesis, mainte nce of cilia integrity and function (22446187).
