Ift43 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly and intraciliary retrograde transport. Located in centriole and cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle A. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; endocrine gland; genitourinary system; mesenteric lymph node; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cranioectodermal dysplasia 3; retinitis pigmentosa 81; and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 18 with polydactyly. Orthologous to human IFT43 (intraflagellar transport 43). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ift43 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
