Enables kinesin binding activity. Involved in cilium assembly; regulation of autophagosome assembly; and regulation of cilium assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; cytoskeleton organization; and nervous system development. Located in severa
l cellular components, including ciliary base; cytoskeleton; and non-motile cilium. Part of intraciliary transport particle B. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and respiratory system. Used to study autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease; mitral valve disease; and scimitar syndrome. Orthologous to human IFT88 (intraflagellar transport 88).
