PDE6D

Function

Promotes the release of prenylated target proteins from cellular membranes (PubMed:9712853). Modulates the activity of prenylated or palmitoylated Ras family members by regulating their subcellular location (PubMed:22002721, PubMed:23698361). Required for normal ciliary targeting of farnesylated target proteins, such as INPP5E (PubMed:24166846). Modulates the subcellular location of target proteins by acting as a GTP specific dissociation inhibitor (GDI) (By similarity). Increases the affinity of ARL3 for GTP by several orders of magnitude. Stabilizes ARL3-GTP by decreasing the nucleotide dissociation rate (By similarity).

Involvement in disease

Joubert syndrome 22

JBTS22

A disorder presenting with cerebellar ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, hypotonia, neonatal breathing abnormalities and psychomotor delay. Neuroradiologically, it is characterized by cerebellar vermian hypoplasia/aplasia, thickened and reoriented superior cerebellar peduncles, and an abnormally large interpeduncular fossa, giving the appearance of a molar tooth on transaxial slices (molar tooth sign). Additional variable features include retinal dystrophy, renal disease, liver fibrosis, and polydactyly.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
