Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium organization; embryonic organ development; and regionalization. Located in cytoskeleton and photoreceptor cell cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle A. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; bone; eye; heart; and perichondrium. Used to study asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 1 and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 9 with or without polydactyly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 9 with or without polydactyly. Orthologous to human IFT140 (intraflagellar transport 140).
