Score is the Open Targets composite evidence score (0-1). Higher = stronger gene-disease association.

Protein function (UniProt)

Tetratricopeptide repeat protein 21B

Component of the IFT complex A (IFT-A), a complex required for retrograde ciliary transport and entry into cilia of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Essential for retrograde trafficking of IFT-1, IFT-B and GPCRs (PubMed:27932497). Negatively modulates the SHH signal transduction (By similarity)
