Function

TTC8 is associated with gamma-tubulin, BBS4, and PCM1 in the centrosome.[5] PCM1 in turn is involved in centriolar replication during ciliogenesis.[6]

TTC8 is located in the cilia of spermatids, retina, and bronchial epithelium cells.[5]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the TTC8 gene is one of 14 genes[7] identified as causal for Bardet–Biedl syndrome.[5][8]
