Intraflagellar transport protein 140 homolog (IFT140)

Part of the IFT complex A (IFT-A), a complex required for retrograde ciliary transport (PubMed:20889716, PubMed:22503633). Plays a pivotal role in proper development and function of ciliated cells through its function in ciliogenesis and/or cilium maintenance (PubMed:22503633).

Required for the development and maintenance of the outer segments of rod and cone photoreceptor cells. Plays a role in maintenance and the delivery of opsin to the outer segment of photoreceptor cells (By similarity).
