Intu Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cilium assembly; limb development; and regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cilium assembly; hair follicle morphogenesis; and nervous system development. Located in centriole; ciliary transition zone; and cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy and orofaciodigital syndrome XVII. Orthologous to human INTU (inturned planar cell polarity 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 Intu often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
