SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule,centrosome
text	localize to transition zones/basal bodies of sensory cilia

basic FUNCTION	mediating a fundamental developmental stage of ciliary formation and epithelial morphogenesis
	function redundantly with the nephrocystins to regulate the formation and/or maintenance of cilia and dendrites in the amphid and phasmid ciliated sensory neurons
	required for ciliary structure and function, including a role in regulating length and appropriate number through modulating centrosome duplication
	protein associated with the base of the cilium in vertebrates and nematodes
	having a role in basal body anchoring and establishing a ciliary gate during ciliogenesis
	critical for ciliogenesis, spheroid formation, and Hh signaling
	play a central role in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and control the cilia length through alteration of RHOA levels
	TMEM231 and B9D1 are essential for each other and other complex components such as MKS1 to localize to the transition zone

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

component of the flagellar apparatus basal body proteome

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with meckelin, a putative receptor
	functional interactions between the ciliopathy-associated Meckel syndrome 1 (MKS1) protein and two novel MKS1-related (B9D1, B9D2) proteins
	MKS1 functions in the transition zone at the base of the cilium to regulate ciliary INPP5E content, through an ARL13B-dependent mechanism
	genetic interaction of MKS1 with components of intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery suggests that the transition zone complex facilitates IFT to promote cilium assembly and structure
