Function

Functions in posttranslatio l glycylation of . Required for either elongation or stability of axonemes (19531357). Depletion leads to shortening and loss of axonemes (21262966). Required for primary cilia formation and control of cell proliferation. Only glycylase expressed in colon (25180231).

Model organism evidence

Mus musculus (3 references)

Using Osr2-Cre;β-cateninfl/fl mice, we show that Wnt signaling is indispensable for mesenchymal cell proliferation and subsequently for myogenesis through mediating ciliogenesis.

Ttll3-/- mice lack glycylation in photoreceptors, which results in shortening of connecting cilia and slow retinal degeneration.
