Oral-facial-digital syndrome 1 protein (OFD1)

Component of the centrioles controlling mother and daughter centrioles length. Recruits into the centriole IFT88 and centriole distal appendage-specific proteins such as CEP164.

Involved in the biogenesis of the cilium, a centriole-associated function. The cilium is a cell surface projection found in many vertebrate cells necessary to transduce signals important for development and tissue homeostasis.
