Cytoplasmic expression in several cell types. Distinct expression in cilia in fallopian tube and respiratory epithelia.
DATA RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly consistent with RNA expression data. Pending external verification. Protein expression in respiratory epithelia can be correlated with lung RNA-seq data.
This gene encodes a type I membrane protein that belongs to the tectonic family. Studies in mice suggest that this protein may be involved in hedgehog signaling, and essential for ciliogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with Meckel syndrome type 8. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
