gene: ift-139 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to be involved in intraciliary retrograde transport and protein localization to cilium. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; cytoskeleton; and plasma membrane bounded cell projection. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle A. Expressed in amphid neurons; ciliated neurons; head neurons; sensory neurons; and tail neurons. Used to study nephronophthisis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 4; nephronophthisis 12; and spermatogenic failure 37. Is an ortholog of human TTC21A (tetratricopeptide repeat domain 21A) and TTC21B (tetratricopeptide repeat domain 21B).
