Ift57 - intraflagellar transport 57 Gene

Predicted to be involved in intraciliary transport and non-motile cilium assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process; epithelial tube morphogenesis; and motile cilium assembly. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton; dendrite terminus; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle B. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus; centrosome; and cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofaciodigital syndrome. Orthologous to human IFT57 (intraflagellar transport 57).
