Nephrocystin-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NPHP4 gene. [5] [6] [7]
This gene encodes a protein which contains a proline-rich region. The encoded protein may function in renal tubular development and function.
This protein interacts with nephrocystin. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 4. Multiple alternative transcript variants have been described but their full-length nature has not been determined. [7]
Cartilage associated protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRTAP gene.

Progressive ankylosis protein homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ANKH gene.
The Abelson helper integration site 1 (AHI1) is a protein coding gene that is known for the critical role it plays in brain development. Proper cerebellar and cortical development in the human brain depends heavily on AHI1. The AHI1 gene is prominently expressed in the embryonic hindbrain and forebrain. AHI1 specifically encodes the Jouberin protein and mutations in the expression of the gene is known to cause specific forms of Joubert syndrome. Joubert syndrome is autosomal recessive and is characterized by the brain malformations and mental retardation that AHI1 mutations have the potential to induce. AHI1 has also been associated with schizophrenia and autism due to the role it plays in brain development. An AHI1 heterozygous knockout mouse model was studied by Bernard Lerer and his group at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem to elucidate the correlation between alterations in AHI1 expression and the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders. The core temperatures and corticosterone secretions of the heterozygous knockout mice after exposure to environmental and visceral stress exhibited extreme repression of autonomic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal responses. The knockout mice demonstrated an increased resilience to different types of stress and these results lead to a correlation between emotional regulation and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Centrosomal protein of 290 kDa is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEP290 gene. CEP290 is located on the Q arm of chromosome 12.
McKusick–Kaufman/Bardet–Biedl syndromes putative chaperonin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MKKS gene.
Inversin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the INVS gene.
Bardet–Biedl syndrome 1 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BBS1 gene. BBS1 is part of the BBSome complex, which required for ciliogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been observed in patients with the major form of Bardet–Biedl syndrome.
