    text
  • pericentriolar region of basal bodies and centrosomes
  • located within the basal body of this primary cilium (Marion 2009)
  • basic FUNCTION
  • chaperonin-like protein activity
  • required for the localization of G protein-coupled receptors to primary cilia on central neurons
  • mediate LEPR trafficking and impaired LEPR signaling underlies energy imbalance in the disease (Seo 2009)
  • play a central role in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and control the cilia length through alteration of RHOA levels
  • MKKS, BBS10, BBS12 play an important role in the initial steps of assembly of the BBSome, which is a multiprotein complex essential for mediating the ciliary trafficking activity
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component part of a complex composed of three chaperonin-like BBS proteins (MKKS, BBS10, and BBS12) that are required for BBSome assembly (Seo 2010)
