Q8N1V2
Protein name Cilia- and flagella-associated protein 52 (WD repeat-containing protein 16) (WD40-repeat protein up-regulated in HCC)
Protein function Microtubule inner protein (MIP) part of the dynein-decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) in cilia axoneme (PubMed:36191189). Important for proper ciliary and flagellar beating. May act in cooperation with CFAP45 and axonemal dynein subunit DNAH1
