Function

Essential for cilia motility in both zebrafish and mouse, through the assembly of ciliary ODAs and IDAs and cooperating with Ruvbl1. Interacts with Hsp90 to regulate the stability of both D I1 and D I2. Requires Ruvbl1 for stability (29113992). Involved in epigenetic and transcriptio l regulation of cilia motility genes, interacts with LRRC6 in a complex involved in dynein arm formation, essential for cilia motility in zebrafish. Candidate gene for PCD (23858445).

Model organism evidence

Drosophila (1 reference)

Cytoplasmic cilia, a specialized type of cilia in which the axoneme resides within the cytoplasm rather than within the ciliary compartment, are proposed to allow for the efficient assembly of very long cilia.
