Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly and intraciliary retrograde transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell projection organization. Located in centriole and cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle A. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; endocrine gland; genitourinary system; mesenteric lymph node; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cranioectodermal dysplasia 3; retinitis pigmentosa 81; and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 18 with polydactyly. Orthologous to human IFT43 (intraflagellar transport 43).
