IFT74


Description

The IFT74 gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a crucial role in the assembly and function of cilia, microscopic hair-like structures found on the surface of many cells. These cilia are involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including sensory perception, fluid movement, and cell signaling. Mutations in IFT74 can disrupt ciliary function, leading to a variety of human diseases.
