Ofd1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables alpha-tubulin binding activity and gamma-tubulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic body morphogenesis; epithelial cilium movement involved in determination of left/right asymmetry; and negative regulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway involved in neural plate anterior/posterior pattern formation. Acts upstream of or within axoneme assembly. Located in centriolar satellite; centriole; and ciliary basal body. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; forelimb; limb bud; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Used to study orofaciodigital syndrome I. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome 10; Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 2; orofaciodigital syndrome I; retinitis pigmentosa; and retinitis pigmentosa 23. Orthologous to human OFD1 (OFD1 centriole and centriolar satellite protein). [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 Ofd1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
