| Primary Identifier | MGI:2384878 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 214552 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly. Located in centriole and cilium. Part of ciliary transition fiber. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; respiratory system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma and nephronophthisis 15. Orthologous to human CEP164 (centrosomal protein 164). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit complete embryonic lethality during organogenesis, holoprosencephaly, cardiac looping defects, pericardial edema, and a severe decrease of primary cilia in the neural tube.
