Summary
Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly and cilium movement involved in cell motility. Predicted to be located in motile cilium. Predicted to be active in microtubule cytoskeleton. Is expressed in intestine and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 81. Orthologous to several human genes including TEKT3 (tektin 3); TEKT4 (tektin 4); and TEKT5 (tektin 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
