Ift122 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Involved in several processes, including cilium organization; embryonic morphogenesis; and protein localization to organelle. 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 basal body; ciliary base; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle A. Is expressed in several structures, including choroid plexus; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; olfactory epithelium; and pituitary gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cranioectodermal dysplasia 1. Orthologous to human IFT122 (intraflagellar transport 122). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Ift122 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
