| HGNC Family | Ankyrin repeat domain containing (ANKRD) |
| Name | double zinc ribbon and ankyrin repeat domains 1 |
| Description | This gene contains two ankyrin repeat-encoding regions. Ankyrin repeats are tandemly repeated modules of about 33 amino acids described as L-shaped structures consisting of a beta-hairpin and two alpha-helices. Ankyrin repeats occur in a large number of functionally diverse proteins, mainly from eukaryotes, and are known to function as protein-protein interaction domains. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2018] |

In zebrafish photoreceptor cells, DZANK1 was identified as a novel interaction partner of Ninein‐like protein (NINL). Together, they form a functional module that is essential for the proper assembly and folding of the cytoplasmic dynein 1 motor complex—a key mediator of intracellular, minus-end–directed transport. Disruption of DZANK1 (or co-disruption with NINL) leads to defects in retrograde melanosome transport, accumulation of trans-Golgi–derived vesicles, abnormal photoreceptor outer segment formation, and mislocalization of proteins such as rhodopsin."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " In a mouse model of posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy, a chromosomal rearrangement disrupted specific exons of DZANK1 along with nearby genes; however, subsequent analyses demonstrated that haploinsufficiency of DZANK1 is unlikely to be the driving force behind the disease phenotype."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Ashutosh K Pandey, Lu Lu, Xusheng Wang, et al.
