Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cerebrospinal fluid circulation; establishment of left/right asymmetry; and inner dynein arm assembly. Located in 9+2 motile cilium and cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; ileum; male reproductive gland or organ; respiratory system; and secondary heart field. Used to study Kartagener syndrome; hydrocephalus; primary ciliary dyskinesia 14; and visceral heterotaxy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 14. Orthologous to human CCDC39 (coiled-coil domain 39 molecular ruler complex subunit).
