Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly; germ cell development; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cytoplasmic sequestering of protein; positive regulation of cilium assembly; and protein localization to cilium. Predicted to be located in centriolar satellite; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of ciliary transition fiber. Predicted to be active in ciliary basal body and cytoplasm. Predicted to colocalize with centriole. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitral valve prolapse and spermatogenic failure 47. Orthologous to human DZIP1 (DAZ interacting zinc finger protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
