SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule,centrosome
	intracellular,nucleus
text	pericentriolar localization, in the basal body in primary cilia
	localizes both to the primary cilium and to the nucleus
	not exclusively localized to the centrosome and basal body, but is present also in the nucleus

basic FUNCTION	may play a role in differentiation of metanephric precursor cell
	may have a role beyond primary cilium organization and assembly and in left-right axis specification
	playing roles not only in microtubule organization (centrosomal function) but also in mechanosensation of urine flow (a primary ciliary function)
	able to self-associate and this interaction is mediated by its coiled-coil rich region
	may be part of a multi-protein complex and could play different biological functions in the centrosome-primary cilium organelles as well as in the nuclear compartment
	necessary for correct ciliogenesis in the limb bud but not for cilia outgrowth, in contrast to what was previously shown for the embryonic node
	plays a role in regulating digit number and identity during limb and skeletal patterning increasing insight on the functional role of primary cilia during development
	plays a crucial role in forebrain development, and in particular, in the control of dorso-ventral patterning and early corticogenesis
	functions after docking and before elaboration of the axoneme
	at centriolar satellites functions as a crucial suppressor of primary ciliogenesis in human cancer cells
	at centriolar satellites has a crucial role in suppressing primary ciliogenesis, whereas OFD1 at centrioles has been shown to be essential for primary ciliogenesis
	BBS4 and OFD1 interacted with proteasomal subunits, and loss of either BBS4 or OFD1 led to depletion of multiple subunits from the centrosomal proteasome
	OFD1 and FOPNL are known to regulate the integrity of the centriole distal end, confirming that this structural element is a target of importance for pathogenic mutations in ciliopathies

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	directly binds to the ciliary protein lebercilin, encoded by LCA5
	interacting with RUVBL1
	direct interaction of FAM161A with lebercilin (LCA5), CEP290, OFD1 and SDCCAG8, all involved in hereditary retinal degeneration
	localizes to centriolar satellites, interacting with proteins associated with human ciliary disease, PCM1, CEP290 and BBS4
	C2CD3 physically associates with OFD1
	KIAA0753vdirectly interacts with OFD1 in the absence of FOPNL, but the interaction between KIAA0753 and OFD1 is much stronger when FOPNL is present in the complex
	SDCCAG8 interacts with proteins of the centriolar satellites (OFD1, AZI1), of the endosomal sorting complex (RABEP2, ERC1), and with non-muscle myosin motor proteins (MYH9, MYH10, MYH14) at the centrosome

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	animal model which could represent a valuable tool to shed light on the molecular link between mTOR and cysts development and eventually to the identification of novel drug targets for renal cystic disease
	in autophagy-deficient Atg5 or Atg3 null mouse embryonic fibroblasts, Ofd1 accumulates at centriolar satellites, leading to fewer and shorter primary cilia and a defective recruitment of Bbs4 (Bardet–Biedl syndrome 4) to cilia
