CFAP298 cilia and flagella associated protein 298

Gene ID: 56683, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Kur; FBB18; CILD26; DNAAF16; C21orf48; C21orf59

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that plays a critical role in dynein arm assembly and motile cilia function. Mutations in this gene result in primary ciliary dyskinesia. Naturally occuring readthrough transcription occurs from this locus to the downstream t-complex 10 like (TCP10L) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]
