Ift74 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable beta-tubulin binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intraciliary transport involved in cilium assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including keratinocyte development; negative regulation of keratinocyte proliferation; and non-motile cilium assembly. Predicted to be located in centrosome and nucleus. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle B. Predicted to be active in cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 22; Joubert syndrome; and spermatogenic failure 58. Orthologous to human IFT74 (intraflagellar transport 74).

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 Ift74 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
