SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule,centrosome

basic FUNCTION	regulates retrograde protein transport in ciliated cells
	pivotal role of IFT140 in proper development and function of ciliated cells
	IFT140 is required for development and maintenance of outer segments of photoreceptors
	both IFT43 and IFT140 are involved in mobilizing ciliary precursors from the cytoplasmic pool during flagellar regeneration
	cilia gene IFT140 is likely essential in promoting dentin formation and reparation
	likely not only plays a role in sperm flagella assembling, but is also involved in critical assembly of proteins that interface between the germ cell plasma and the Sertoli cell
	IFT140 may play an important role in the process of chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation during bone development
	IFT140-positive cells mainly contribute to the early stage of bone formation
	is a core component of the intraflagellar transport-complex A, responsible for retrograde ciliary trafficking and ciliary entry of membrane proteins
