Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable alpha-tubulin binding activity and microtubule binding activity. Involved in motile cilium assembly and non-motile cilium assembly. Located in 9+0 non-motile cilium; ciliary base; and microtubule organizing center. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain ventricular layer; ileum; male reproductive gland or organ; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ENKD1 (enkurin domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit ciliogenesis defects in multiple organs, defective vision, and moderately altered cardiac muscle conduction. [provided by MGI curators] |
