A structural constituent of collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle. Involved in cuticle development involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle molting cycle and post-embryonic body morphogenesis. Located in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle extracellular matrix. Expressed in hypodermis.
Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly. Predicted to be located in ciliary transition zone. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome 13; Joubert syndrome 18; and orofaciodigital syndrome IV. Is an ortholog of human TCTN1 (tectonic family member 1) and TCTN3 (tectonic family member 3).
Predicted to be a structural constituent of cuticle. Involved in regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Used to study skin disease.
