Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic digit morphogenesis; glomerular visceral epithelial cell migration; and sensory organ development. Located in axonemal basal plate. Is expressed in alimentary system epithelium; brain; larynx; and nose. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 15 and congenital heart defects, hamartomas of tongue, and polysyndactyly. Orthologous to human WDPCP (WD repeat containing planar cell polarity effector). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
