Cilia- and flagella-associated protein 53 (CFAP53), also known as coiled-coil domain-containing protein 11 (CCDC11), is a novel centriolar satellite protein essential for the assembly and function of motile cilia and establishment of left-right asymmetry [, ]. In zebrafish, it is required for cilia rotation specifically in Kupffer's vesicle, the zebrafish laterality organ [].

In zebrafish, it is required for cilia rotation specifically in Kupffer's vesicle, the zebrafish laterality organ [].Trichoplein keratin filament-binding protein (TCHP) may act as a 'capping' or 'branching' protein for keratin filaments in the cell periphery. It may regulate K8/K18 filament and desmosome organisation mainly at the apical or peripheral regions of simple epithelial cells []. In human, it acts as a tumor suppressor which has the ability to inhibit cell growth and be pro-apoptotic during cell stress. It inhibits cell growth in bladder and prostate cancer cells by a down-regulation of HSPB1 by inhibiting its phosphorylation [].
