Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium assembly; epithelial tube morphogenesis; and negative regulation of keratinocyte proliferation. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; dendrite terminus; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesoderm; limb bud; and node. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofaciodigital syndrome. Orthologous to human IFT57 (intraflagellar transport 57).
