gene: dyf-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Involved in several processes, including chemotaxis; cilium organization; and olfactory behavior. Acts upstream of or within cilium assembly and intraciliary retrograde transport. Located in non-motile cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Expressed in neurons and oxygen sensory neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Caroli disease; Senior-Loken syndrome; and asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 5. Is an ortholog of human WDR19 (WD repeat domain 19).
