MGI curation of this mouse gene is considered complete, including annotations derived from the biomedical literature as of February 2, 2010. If you know of any additional information regarding this mouse gene please let us know. Please supply mouse gene symbol and a PubMed ID.Summary from NCBI RefSeq
[Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a protein that appears to be a component the radial spoke head, as determined by homology to similar proteins in the biflagellate alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and other ciliates. Radial spokes, which are regularly spaced along cilia, sperm, and flagella axonemes, consist of a thin 'stalk' and a bulbous 'head' that form a signal transduction scaffold between the central pair of microtubules and dynein. Mutations in this gene cause primary ciliary dyskinesia 1, a disease arising from dysmotility of motile cilia and sperm. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

From comparative sequence analysis (see table for details), MGI curators have determined that the gene product of Rsph4a:
participates in the following biological processes:
Annotations directly to molecular function for the gene Rsph4a indicate that MGI curators have found no experimental data [literature] to support further annotation to this category at this time.
