basic FUNCTION
| Iguana proteins (DZIP1 and DZIP1L) localize to the basal bodies of primary cilia and, together, are required for primary cilia formation  |
|
critical and broadly conserved function for Iguana is in ciliogenesis and that this function has come to be required for Hedgehog signaling in vertebrates  |
|
is required for ciliogenesis  |
|
is the first known ciliogenic protein that regulates Hedgehog signaling through a dual mechanism and that biochemically links intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery with Hedgehog pathway components  |
|
has bipartite positive and negative functions in the Hh pathway  |
|
appears to be important for the formation of stress granules during the stress response  |
|
DZIP1 is involved in the Hedgehog signaling pathway  |
|
is likely a component of different ribonucleoproteins associated with translating polysomes and with RNA granules  |
|
unique cascade consisting of GSK3B, DZIP1, and RAB8A that regulates ciliogenesis after mitosis  |
|
centrosome protein DZIP1 mediates the assembly of the BBSome-DZIP1-PCM1 complex in the centriolar satellites (CS) at the G0 phase for ciliary translocation of the BBSome  |
