CCDC40 coiled-coil domain 40 molecular ruler complex subunit

Gene ID: 55036, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CILD15; FAP172; CFAP172

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is necessary for motile cilia function. It functions in correct left-right axis formation by regulating the assembly of the inner dynein arm and the dynein regulatory complexes, which control ciliary beat. Mutations in this gene cause ciliary dyskinesia type 15, a disorder due to defects in cilia motility. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
