Function

FUZZY (CPLANE4) is a member of the CPLANE (ciliogenesis and planar polarity effector) complex required for ciliogenesis and planar cell polarity. Essential for the assembly of the intraflagellar transport machinery at the ciliary base. Associated with Joubert syndrome and Short-Rib Thoracic Dysplasia.(25336913)
