Ift57 - intraflagellar transport 57

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium assembly; epithelial tube morphogenesis; and left/right pattern formation. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; dendrite terminus; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesoderm; limb bud; and node. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofaciodigital syndrome. Orthologous to human IFT57 (intraflagellar transport 57). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
