description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Involved in cilium assembly. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Located in axoneme; centrosome; and ciliary basal body. Part of intraciliary transport particle A. Is expressed in several structures, including choroid plexus; future forebrain; limb mesenchyme; lobar bronchus epithelium; and sensory organ. Used to study short-rib thoracic dysplasia 7 with or without polydactyly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome; cranioectodermal dysplasia 2; and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 7 with or without polydactyly. Orthologous to human WDR35 (WD repeat domain 35). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU induced mutation exhibit mid-gestation lethality, heart development defects, turning defects, polysyndactyly, hypoplastic lungs, tracheoesophageal fistula, herniated diaphragm and absent embryonic cilia.
