Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Involved in several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; non-motile cilium assembly; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; embryonic morphogenesis; and regionalization. Predicted to be located in cell projection; cytoplasm; and cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; neural ectoderm; and notochord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neural tube defect. Orthologous to human FUZ (fuzzy planar cell polarity protein).
