IFT52 intraflagellar transport 52

Gene ID: 51098, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NGD2; NGD5; CGI-53; C20orf9

Summary

This gene encodes a conserved proline-rich protein that is a component of the intraflagellar transport-B (IFT-B) core complex. The encoded protein is essential for the integrity of the IFT-B core complex, and for biosynthesis and maintenance of cilia. Mutations in this gene are associated with ciliopathy that affects the skeleton. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
