Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly and regulation of protein localization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including ciliary transition zone assembly; neural tube development; and protein localization to cilium. Predicted to be located in axoneme and centriole. Predicted to be active in ciliary basal body and cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in polycystic kidney disease 5. Orthologous to human DZIP1L (DAZ interacting zinc finger protein 1 like). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
