Ift57 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium assembly; epithelial tube morphogenesis; and negative regulation of keratinocyte proliferation. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; dendrite terminus; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesoderm; limb bud; and node. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofaciodigital syndrome XVIII. Orthologous to human IFT57 (intraflagellar transport 57). [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 Ift57 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
