intraflagellar transport 57 homolog (Chlamydomonas)
Synonyms
curly
hippi
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium organization; epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; and photoreceptor cell maintenance. Predicted to be located in ciliary basal body. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle B. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus; cilium; and microtubule organizing center. Is expressed in head and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofaciodigital syndrome XVIII. Orthologous to human IFT57 (intraflagellar transport 57).
