    Summary
    Involved in several processes, including deactivation of rhodopsin mediated signaling; response to sucrose; and triglyceride homeostasis. Located in several cellular components, including cilium; neuronal cell body; and rhabdomere. Is expressed in several structures, including dorsal sensory complex proper primordium; extended germ band embryo; presumptive embryonic/larval system; sensory system; and stage 5 embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 15; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 14. Orthologous to several human genes including TUB (TUB bipartite transcription factor) and TULP3 (TUB like protein 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. This is the first demonstration that dTULP regulates TRP channel localization in cilia, and suggests that dTULP is a protein that regulates ciliary neurosensory functions.
