Involved in membrane protein trafficking at the base of the ciliary organelle. Mediates recruitment onto plasma membrane of the BBSome complex which would constitute a coat complex required for sorting of specific membrane proteins to the primary cilia. Together with BBS1, is necessary for correct trafficking of PKD1 to primary cilia. Together with the BBSome complex and LTZL1, controls SMO ciliary trafficking and contributes to the sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway regulation. May regulate cilia assembly and disassembly and subsequent ciliary signaling events such as the Wnt signaling cascade. Isoform 2 may be required for proper retinal function and organization.

Mutations of the ARL6 gene cause Bardet-Biedl syndrome, a heterogeneous disorder that increases the risk of Hypertension and Diabetes mellitus. PMID: 27271309
Elevated levels of serum ARL6 were able to discriminate between excessive alcohol users and controls. PMID: 25704570
Results show that BBS1 and BBS3 regulates the ciliary traficking of PC1. PMID: 24939912
The BBSome is a coat-like ciliary trafficking complex composed of proteins mutated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome. ARL6 E108A mutation prevents BBSome recruitment to cilia. PMID: 25402481
Arl6 is indispensable in cilia signaling but dispensable in ciliogenesis (Review). PMID: 23548655
BBS3 A89V is sufficient to rescue the transport delays induced by the loss of BBS3 but was unable to rescue vision impairment PMID: 21282186
Bardet-Biedl syndrome-associated small GTPase ARL6 (BBS3) functions at or near the ciliary gate and modulates Wnt signaling. PMID: 20207729
the first null mutation reported in BBS3 gene in patient with Bardet-Biedl syndrome PMID: 20142850
These data demonstrate that the BBS3L transcript is required for proper retinal function and organization. PMID: 20333246
We uncovered four different homozygous substitutions in ARL6 in four unrelated families affected with Bardet-Biedl syndrome, two of which disrupt a threonine residue important for GTP binding and function of several related small GTP-binding proteins. PMID: 15314642
These findings implicate that Arl6 mutants are destabilized and eliminated by the proteasome in cells, probably due to the altered nucleotide-binding properties. PMID: 19236846
Cell projection, cilium membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium axoneme. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body. Note=Appears in a pattern of punctae flanking the microtubule axoneme that likely correspond to small membrane-associated patches. Localizes to the so-called ciliary gate where vesicles carrying ciliary cargo fuse with the membrane.
