CFAP45
Description
CFAP45 is a gene that plays a crucial role in the development and function of cilia, hair-like structures found on the surface of many cells. These cilia are essential for various cellular processes, including fluid movement, sensory perception, and signaling. Mutations in the CFAP45 gene can disrupt ciliary function, leading to a range of human diseases.
