Predicted to be involved in cell population proliferation; organelle assembly; and retina homeostasis. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell projection organization. Predicted to be located in centrosome and spindle pole. Predicted to be active in centriole and ciliary basal body. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; ileum; metanephros; and testis. Used to study oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cone-rod dystrophy 20. Orthologous to human POC1B (POC1 centriolar protein B).
