Summary
Involved in several processes, including chemotaxis; cilium organization; and olfactory behavior. Acts upstream of or within cilium assembly and intraciliary retrograde transport. Located in non-motile cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Is expressed in nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Caroli disease; Senior-Loken syndrome; asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 5; cranioectodermal dysplasia 4; and nephronophthisis 13. Orthologous to human WDR19 (WD repeat domain 19). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
