Cilia number / % ciliated:: Decreased cilia number

Ciliogenesis screen results (2 screens)

Wheway et al. 2015 (siRNA) [siRNA]: No effect PMID:26167766

Phenotypes

Mouse phenotype:: preweaning lethality, incomplete penetrance
Mouse ciliopathy phenotype:: abnormal testis morphology, small testis

Subcellular localization

cilia, nucleus

Functional category

Ciliary assembly/disassembly

Function

Regulator of multiciliated cell differentiation. It may function upstream of Foxj1 expression (29661797). Jazf1 knockdown inhibits ciliated cell differentiation in airway epithelium. JAZF1 was enriched in adult ciliated cells, and knockdown of Jazf1 inhibited ciliated cell differentiation in mouse airway epithelium. (29661797)

Model organism evidence

Mus musculus (1 reference)

Fank1 and Jazf1 promote multiciliated cell differentiation in the mouse airway epithelium.
