Cfap45 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable AMP binding activity. Involved in flagellated sperm motility. Acts upstream of or within cerebrospinal fluid circulation; epithelial cilium movement involved in determination of left/right asymmetry; and regulation of cilium beat frequency involved in ciliary motility. Located in 9+0 motile cilium. Is active in axonemal B tubule inner sheath and sperm flagellum. Is expressed in lateral ventricle choroid plexus; lung; metencephalon part of 4th ventricle choroid plexus; and olfactory epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in visceral heterotaxy 11. Orthologous to human CFAP45 (cilia and flagella associated protein 45). [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 Cfap45 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
