Background
This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

Function
developmental stage:Widely expressed in fetal tissues. Detected in fetal pancreas, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney and brain (at protein level). Expressed in fetal aorta and brain.,disease:Defects in ALMS1 are the cause of Alstrom syndrome (ALMS) [MIM:203800]. Alstrom syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive cone-rod retinal dystrophy, neurosensory hearing loss, early childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Dilated cardiomyopathy, acanthosis nigricans, male hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, developmental delay and hepatic dysfunction can also be associated with the syndrome.,function:Possible role in intracellular trafficking.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,subcellular location:Associated with centrosomes and basal body at the base of primary cilia. During mitosis localizes to both spindle poles.,tissue specificity:Expre

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Associated with centrosomes and basal bodies at the base of primary cilia. Specifically locates to the proximal ends of centrioles and basal bodies. Colocalizes partially with NCAPD2 at these sites. During mitosis localizes to both spindle poles.
Tissue expression
Expressed in all tissues tested including adipose and pancreas. Expressed by beta-cells of the islets in the pancreas (at protein level).
