Function
Structural component of the ciliary rootlet. Coiled-coil interaction in the extended α-helical rod domain of rootletin is a key feature in rootlet formation (12427867). Interaction between the rootlet and intermediate filaments may contribute substantially to the role as support structure for the cillium. Candidate gene for human reti l degeneration (15870283). interacts with the large coiled-coil protein, C- P1, to connect parental centrioles and maintain centrosome cohesion. Positive regulation of ciliogenesis (23070519). CHE-10/rootletin maintains ciliary integrity by modulating the assembly, motility, and flux of IFT particles, which are critical for axoneme length control, and is essential for stabilizing ciliary transition zones and basal bodies (24094853)
