Bio Background |
This gene encodes a member of the tubby-like gene family(TULPs). Members of this family have been identified in plants, vertebrates, and invertebrates and encode proteins of unknownfunction. TULP proteins share a conserved C-terminal region ofapproximately 200 amino acid residues. Mutations in this gene maybe associated with retinitis pigmentosa. |
