Expression Pattern :

Primary Identifier  Expr8277 Remark  Consistent with this localization pattern, and similar to Drosophila OSEG4, a GFP-tagged version of the human IFTA-1 homologue (ENSP00000314444) localizes at the centrosomal/basal body region of a mouse IMCD3 ciliated cell line. The localization of human IFTA-1 is essentially the same as many other known basal body/ciliary proteins, including BBS proteins. Picture: Figure 2A, 2B.
Subcellular Localization  GFP-tagged IFTA-1 localizes strongly at the base of cilia (i.e., transition zones, which are akin to basal bodies) and along ciliary axonemes in the phasmid and amphid sensory cilia. The ciliary localization of IFTA-1::GFP is highly specific, because GFP signals in the cell bodies, axons, and dendrites were found to be weak or absent.
