Functional category

• Ciliary assembly/disassembly

Function

Acts as a scaffold for the cilium disassembly complex, which includes Nde1, Aurora A, and OFD1, which is recruited to the ciliary base for timely cilium disassembly, plays a role in NPC proliferation, cilia formation, controlling the cilium axoneme and BB structure, regulates centriole duplication and elongation (30626697). Promotes the extension of the centriolar cylinder, presumably via its ability to recruit tubulin to the scent structure, studies propose that functions as a scaffold for tubulin addition (19481458).
