Ift52 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; negative regulation of keratinocyte proliferation; and non-motile cilium assembly. Located in several cellular components, including ciliary base; ciliary tip; and microtubule organizing center. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy. Orthologous to human IFT52 (intraflagellar transport 52). [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 Ift52 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
