description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables alpha-tubulin binding activity and gamma-tubulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic body morphogenesis; epithelial cilium movement involved in determination of left/right asymmetry; and negative regulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway involved in neural plate anterior/posterior pattern formation. Acts upstream of or within axoneme assembly. Located in centriolar satellite; centriole; and ciliary basal body. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; forelimb; limb bud; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Used to study orofaciodigital syndrome I. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome 10; Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 2; orofaciodigital syndrome I; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 23. Orthologous to human OFD1 (OFD1 centriole and centriolar satellite protein). PHENOTYPE: Hemizygous conditional deletion of this gene results in embryonic lethality during organogenesis, impaired left-right axis patterning, and malformation of Henson's node cells. Heterozygous conditional deletion of this gene results in neonatal lethality, cystic kidneys, polydactyly, and cleft palate. [provided by MGI curators] |
