| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables intraciliary transport particle B binding activity. Involved in cilium organization; protein localization to cilium; and smoothened signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within manchette assembly. Located in centrosome and ciliary basal body. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Is expressed in spinal cord. Orthologous to human IFT56 (intraflagellar transport 56). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a spontaneous nonsense mutation exhibit partial prenatal lethality, a hopping gait, preaxial polydactyly, male sterility due to lack of sperm flagella, impaired hearing, and patterning defects that are typical of impaired Hedgehog signaling.
