A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of BBS4 antibody, Alternative Names: BBS4 control peptide, BBS4 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-BBS4 Blocking Peptide, Bardet-Biedl Syndrome 4 Blocking Peptide
This gene is a member of the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) gene family. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe pigmentary retinopathy, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and mental retardation. The proteins encoded by BBS gene family members are structurally diverse. The similar phenotypes exhibited by mutations in BBS gene family members are likely due to the protein's shared roles in cilia formation and function. Many BBS proteins localize to the basal bodies, ciliary axonemes, and pericentriolar regions of cells. BBS proteins may also be involved in intracellular trafficking via microtubule-related transport.
