UniProt Protein Function:
ALS2CR4: Component of the transition zone in primary cilia. Required for ciliogenesis. Defects in TMEM237 are the cause of Joubert syndrome type 14 (JBTS14). An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe mental retardation, hypotonia, breathing abnormalities in infancy, and dysmorphic facial features. 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 JBTS14 features include renal disease, abnormal eye movements, and postaxial polydactyly. Belongs to the TMEM237 family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Membrane protein, multi-passChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q33.2Cellular Component: membrane; integral to membraneBiological Process: regulation of Wnt receptor signaling pathway; cilium biogenesisDisease: Joubert Syndrome 1; Joubert Syndrome 14

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is a tetraspanin protein that is thought to be involved in WNT signaling. Defects in this gene are a cause of Joubert syndrome-14. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
