Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cilium assembly and sperm axoneme assembly. Acts upstream of or within cilium organization and left/right axis specification. Located in cytoskeleton; nuclear envelope; and sperm flagellum. Is active in axonemal A tubule inner sheath. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in visceral heterotaxy. Orthologous to human MNS1 (meiosis specific nuclear structural 1).
