Tulp1 - TUB like protein 1 Gene

Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception; neuron development; and positive regulation of phagocytosis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including phagocytosis, recognition; photoreceptor cell maintenance; and protein localization to photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axon terminus; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be active in cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 15; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 14. Orthologous to human TULP1 (TUB like protein 1).
