Involved in axonemal central apparatus assembly; cilium movement; and radial spoke assembly. Located in axoneme and motile cilium. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain ventricle; gut gland; ovary; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 12. Orthologous to human RSPH9 (radial spoke head component 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
