Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of keratinocyte proliferation; non-motile cilium assembly; and skeletal system development. Located in centrosome and ciliary basal body. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Is active in 9+0 non-motile cilium. Is expressed in brain. Used to study asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 2 and asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 2. Orthologous to human IFT80 (intraflagellar transport 80).
