    basic FUNCTION
  • mediating a fundamental developmental stage of ciliary formation and epithelial morphogenesis
  • implicated in mediating primary ciliary function
  • possible role for the extracellular domain of meckelin in mediating intracellular transport from the ER
  • required for ciliary structure and function, including a role in regulating length and appropriate number through modulating centrosome duplication
  • is required for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of surfactant protein C
  • having a role in basal body anchoring and establishing a ciliary gate during ciliogenesis
  • important role for meckelin in intraciliary transport of phototransduction molecules and their effects on subsequent outer segment morphogenesis and maintenance

    INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • ER lumenal domain of MKS3 interacted with a complex that included mutant SFTPC and associated chaperones, whereas the region predicted to encode the transmembrane domains of MKS3 interacted with cytosolic VCP
  • interacting with MKS1, a soluble protein
  • TMEM67 forms a functional complex with FLNA that is disrupted in MKS3 and causes defects in neuronal migration and Wnt signalling
