Bardet-Biedl syndrome 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BBS4 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene encodes a protein which contains tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR), similar to O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase. Mutations in this gene have been observed in patients with Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 4. The encoded protein may play a role in pigmentary retinopathy, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and mental retardation.[3]

Interactions

BBS4 has been shown to interact with DCTN1.[4]
