Tetratricopeptide repeat domain 8 (TTC8) also known as Bardet-Biedl syndrome 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TTC8 gene.^[3]

Function

TTC8 is associated with gamma-tubulin, BBS4, and PCM1 in the centrosome.^[3] PCM1 in turn is involved in centriolar replication during ciliogenesis.^[4]

TTC8 is located in the cilia of spermatids, retina, and bronchial epithelium cells.^[3]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the TTC8 gene is one of 14 genes^[5] identified as causal for Bardet-Biedl syndrome.^[3][6]
