Description
Description
The BBSome is a complex of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) proteins that are evolutionary related to coat protein complexes. It is involved in the trafficking of membrane proteins to primary cilia and interacts with IFT-A and IFT-B complexes in the intraflagella transport system. (Adapted from PMID:19575670 and FBrf0223369).
