Ccdc40 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axonemal dynein complex assembly; determination of left/right symmetry; and protein localization to cilium. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cilium assembly; flagellated sperm motility; and regulation of cilium beat frequency. Predicted to be located in axoneme. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and motile cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 15. Orthologous to human CCDC40 (coiled-coil domain 40 molecular ruler complex subunit). [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 Ccdc40 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
