GO curators for mouse genes have assigned the following annotations to the gene product of Evc. (This text reflects annotations as of Wednesday, January 23, 2013.) Summary from NCBI RefSeq
[Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a protein containing a leucine zipper and a transmembrane domain. This gene has been implicated in both Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EvC) and Weyers acrodental dysostosis.

Researchers have inferred from direct assay, that the gene product of Evc
Blair HJ et al. (2011) Evc2 is a positive modulator of Hedgehog signalling that interacts with Evc at the cilia membrane and is also found in the nucleus. BMC Biol, 9:14. (PubMed:21356043)
Ruiz-Perez VL et al. (2007) Evc is a positive mediator of Ihh-regulated bone growth that localises at the base of chondrocyte cilia. Development, 134:2903-12. (PubMed:17660199)
