Summary
Enables intraciliary transport particle A binding activity. Acts upstream of or within acrosome reaction and spermatogenesis. Located in 9+0 non-motile cilium and cytosol. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer and retina. Orthologous to human IFTAP (intraflagellar transport associated protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. NWC-devoid spermatogenesis produces functionally impaired sperm. Sperm of knockout males fail to successfully compete with control sperm. NWC knockout sperm had a reduced ability to fertilize cumulus-intact eggs.

  3. Ikaros, a lymphocyte-specific transcription factor, acts as a repressor of NWC promoter--thus identifying a new Ikaros target--but is insufficient for inducing methylation which depends on antisense transcription driven by RAG-2 promoter

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
