Summary

EFHC1 (EF-hand domain containing 1, HGNC:16406) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p12.2, encoding EF-hand domain-containing protein 1 (Q5JVL4). Microtubule inner protein (MIP) part of the dynein-decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) in cilia axoneme, which is required for motile cilia beating.

This gene encodes an EF-hand-containing calcium binding protein. The encoded protein likely plays a role in calcium homeostasis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and juvenile absence epilepsy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Function. Microtubule inner protein (MIP) part of the dynein-decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) in cilia axoneme, which is required for motile cilia beating. Microtubule-associated protein which regulates cell division and neuronal migration during cortical development. Necessary for radial and tangential cell migration during brain development, possibly acting as a regulator of cell morphology and process formation during migration. May enhance calcium influx through CACNA1E and stimulate programmed cell death.

Subunit / interactions. Microtubule inner protein component of sperm flagellar doublet microtubules. Interacts with the C-terminus of CACNA1E. Interacts with alpha-tubulin.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cilium axoneme. Flagellum axoneme. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Spindle. Spindle pole.

Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Not detected in lymphocytes.

Disease relevance. Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy 1 (EJM1) [MIM:254770] A subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Patients have afebrile seizures only, with onset in adolescence (rather than in childhood) and myoclonic jerks which usually occur after awakening and are triggered by sleep deprivation and fatigue. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Juvenile absence epilepsy 1 (JAE1) [MIM:607631] A subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy characterized by onset occurring around puberty, absence seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS), GTCS on awakening, and myoclonic seizures. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Mutation Leu-229 may be a cause of intractable epilepsy of infancy. Affected individuals have seizures of multiple type, manifested as tonic, clonic, and myoclonic seizures in the neonatal period, and as tonic seizures activated frequently by sleep, and repeated frequent myoclonic seizures in later infancy. The seizures are unresponsive to numerous antiepileptic drugs, and infants die in the first years of life. Although heterozygosity for Leu-229 has been associated with relatively benign forms of epilepsy in adolescence, homozygosity for the same mutation has much more severe consequences.

Miscellaneous. May be due to intron retention.
