    Summary
    Predicted to enable several functions, including beta-tubulin binding activity; calcium-dependent outer dynein arm binding activity; and dynein heavy chain binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell chemotaxis; cilium-dependent cell motility; and regulation of flagellated sperm motility. Predicted to be located in 9+2 motile cilium and axoneme. Is expressed in central nervous system and pancreas trunk epithelium. Orthologous to human EFCAB1 (EF-hand calcium binding domain 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    1. Pathogenic variants in CLXN encoding the outer dynein arm docking-associated calcium-binding protein calaxin cause primary ciliary dyskinesia.
      Title: Pathogenic variants in CLXN encoding the outer dynein arm docking-associated calcium-binding protein calaxin cause primary ciliary dyskinesia.
    2. Mice with a null mutation in Efcab1 display typical phenotypes of primary ciliary dyskinesia, including hydrocephalus, situs inversus, and abnormal motility of trachea cilia and sperm flagella. Strikingly, both males and females are viable and fertile, indicating that calaxin is not essential for fertilization in mice. The 9 + 2 axonemal structures of epithelial multicilia and sperm flagella are normal.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
