CFAP91


Description

The CFAP91 gene, located on chromosome 17, encodes a protein essential for the assembly and function of cilia, hair-like structures found on the surface of many cells. These cilia play critical roles in sensory perception, fluid movement, and cell signaling. Mutations in the CFAP91 gene can disrupt cilia function, leading to a range of developmental and health problems. This article explores the complexities of CFAP91, its association with diseases, and the ongoing research efforts to understand its role in human health.
