basic FUNCTION
| may play an important role in sperm maturation |
|
tubulin binding by IFT81 was required for ciliogenesis |
|
two core IFT proteins IFT74 and IFT81 form a tubulin-binding module |
|
together, the IFT81 and IFT74 N-termini are crucial for flagellar assembly, and are likely to function as the main module for IFT of tubulin |
|
importance of IFT81 in the skeleton, and role in the anterograde transport complex |
|
involved in the bidirectional transport of ciliary proteins |
|
plays an essential role during spermatogenesis by modulating the assembly and elongation of the sperm flagella |
