This protein weighs approximately 123 kDa and is found prominently in tissues with motile and non-motile cilia including the brain kidneys and lungs. OFD1 is expressed in both embryonic and adult tissues indicating its role across developmental stages.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe OFD1 protein is a critical part of the centrosome and cilia structure. It is prominently involved in the centrosome-cilium interface ensuring proper structure and function of cilia which are essential for cell signaling and movement. OFD1 interacts with proteins like CEP290 and BBS4 within the basal body and centriolar satellites indicating its participation in maintaining ciliary architecture and function.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe OFD1 protein is involved in pathways that influence cilia-related signaling. One significant pathway includes the Hedgehog signaling pathway which relies on cilia for signal transduction. Proteins such as Gli and Smoothened which play roles within these pathways interact with ciliary structures supported by OFD1 highlighting its involvement in signaling required for tissue development and morphogenesis.\u003cbr\u003e\nDisruption in OFD1 function relates to oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 and Joubert syndrome both of which are ciliopathies. These disorders arise due to defects in cilia leading to problems in multiple organ systems including the nervous system and kidneys. OFD1's interactions with CEP290 become critical in the context of these diseases as defects in these protein interactions can cause the ciliopathies' phenotypes explaining the mutations' contributions to clinical conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854132531369,"sku":"ab222837","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab222837","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
