Decreased cilia number
Loss-of-function effect:
Shorter cilia

Subcellular localization

cilia associated gene

Functional category

  • Ciliary assembly/disassembly
  • Reproduction & sperm
  • Cardiac & muscle development

Function

Required for the multiciliogenesis of multiciliated cells in the kidney and olfactory placode. It plays essential roles in the formation and organisation of cilia bundles. Serves as a guardian to maintain optimal levels of cmyb ( 23698347). Essential for normal brain development, motile ciliogenesis, and spermatogenesis ( 24982181).
