Functions and trafficking mechanisms of RIC-8 in <i>C. elegans</i> and mammalian cilia

2026-02-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Primary cilia exhibit conserved organization and contain structural and functional domains of unique molecular composition. The inversin compartment (InvC), which is found in the proximal ciliary segment of a subset of vertebrate and invertebrate cell types, concentrates different classes of signaling molecules. Mutations in genes encoding resident proteins of the InvC manifest in ciliopathies,...
