Ift57 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in intraciliary transport and non-motile cilium assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial tube morphogenesis; motile cilium assembly; and negative regulation of keratinocyte proliferation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including ciliary base; cytoskeleton; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle B. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus; cilium; and microtubule organizing center. 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 rat 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.
