The gene BBS9 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9) is mapped to human chromosome 7p.
Synonyms: Anti-Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9 protein; Anti-Parathyroid hormone-responsive B1 gene protein; Anti-Protein PTHB1
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-BBS9 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem Physiol Actions: BBS9 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9) is a central organizing component of the BBSome (Bardet-Biedl syndrome protein complex). BBSome is responsible for transporting membrane proteins to the cilia and thereby maintains ciliary function. BBS9 associates with leucine-zipper transcription factor-like 1 (LZTFL1) which controls ciliary trafficking. Mutations in BBS9 are linked with BBS.
