Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 72938 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Involved in kidney development; smoothened signaling pathway; and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including left/right axis specification; lung development; and skeletal system development. Located in centrosome and cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Is expressed in embryo; germ cell of ovary; and secondary heart field. Orthologous to human IFT25 (intraflagellar transport 25). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show fetal growth retardation and complete neonatal death due to severe structural heart defects. Omphalocele, polydactyly, left pulmonary isomerism, and skeletal defects such as micrognathia, cleft palate, malaligned sternal vertebrae, and a small rib cage are often observed.
