Ift140 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in intraciliary retrograde transport and regulation of cilium assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cilium organization; embryonic organ development; and regionalization. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including microtubule organizing center; nucleoplasm; and photoreceptor cell cilium. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle A. Predicted to be active in axoneme and ciliary basal body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 9 with or without polydactyly. Orthologous to human IFT140 (intraflagellar transport 140). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Ift140 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
