Functional category

• Ciliary assembly/disassembly
• Trafficking (BBSome, small GTPases, vesicular transport, ATPases)
• Actin & cytoskeleton regulation
• Protein processing & maturation
• Signaling (Hedgehog, GPCRs, ion channels)
• Cilia length regulation

Function

DIAPH3 may coordi te vesicle trafficking to the base of cilia to regulate ciliogenesis and cilia mainte nce(33872598). DIAPH2 and DIAPH3 have role in ciliogenesis and cilia mainte nce and depletion of DIAPH2 and DIAPH3 caused impaired ciliogenesis, decreases in cilia length, and decreases in IFT20 or Rab11 recruitment to the ciliary base(33872598).
