Predicted to enable intraciliary transport particle B binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intraciliary anterograde transport and intraciliary transport involved in cilium assembly. Predicted to be located in cilium. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle B. Predicted to be active in ciliary basal body and ciliary base. Is expressed in neurons. Orthologous to human IFT56 (intraflagellar transport 56).
WB Description
dyf-13 encodes a ciliary protein, belonging to a conserved butunfamiliar protein family, that is required for cilial function andformation, undergoes IFT, and might represent a core component of theOSM-3 kinesin IFT pathway; dyf-13 is expressed in AWB neurons; dyf-13mutations affect morphology of the amphid and phasmid neurons,chemotaxis, dauer formation, growth, male mating, and hermaphroditebrood size; dyf-13 requires DAF-19 for its transcription.
