Function
FOXA1 is a transcriptio l activator of Odf2, Foxa1 knockdown caused a decrease in ODF2 and CP110 proteins. Knockdown of FOXA1 affected primary cilia formation ( 36509813). Knockdown of FOXA1 affected primary cilia formation. FOXA1 regulates primary ciliation by transcriptional activation of ciliary genes. (36509813)
Model organism evidence
Ciliome gene mutations underlie a group of pleiotropic genetic diseases known as ciliopathies.
Distinct IFT mechanisms contribute to the generation of ciliary structural diversity in C.
A secretory cell type develops alongside multiciliated cells, ionocytes and goblet cells, and provides a protective, anti-infective function in the frog embryonic mucociliary epidermis.
