Phenotypes

Mouse phenotype:
preweaning lethality, complete penetrance, increased circulating potassium level, increased total body fat amount, abnormal gait

Subcellular localization

cilia associated gene

Functional category

  • Ciliary assembly/disassembly
  • Signaling (Hedgehog, GPCRs, ion channels)
  • Cardiac & muscle development

Function

Fgf4 was essential for the expression of lefty1, which is necessary for the asymmetric expression of southpaw and pitx2 in the lateral plate mesoderm, in the posterior notochord, and the expression of lefty2 and lefty1 in the left cardiac field ( 19481538).

Mus musculus (4 references)

Cfap298 is a highly conserved gene required for ciliary motility and dynein arm assembly, with known roles in left-right (LR) patterning in zebrafish and links to human ciliopathies.

It plays a known role in Left-Right (LR) patterning in zebrafish and is linked to human ciliopathies.
