Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 66086 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell projection organization. Located in ciliary basal body and motile cilium. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human CEP20 (centrosomal protein 20). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knock-out results in embryonic growth arrest and lethality around E10.5 to E11.5, impaired left-right pattering with failed body turning and disorganized heart looping, defective angiogenesis, and disrupted nodal ciliogenesis.
