Wdpcp - WD repeat containing planar cell polarity effector

Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cilium assembly; regulation of embryonic cell shape; and septin cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic digit morphogenesis; glomerular visceral epithelial cell migration; and sensory organ development. Predicted to be located in axoneme. Predicted to be active in axonemal basal plate. Predicted to colocalize with apical plasma membrane and cell cortex. 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]
