- Description
- osm-6 encodes a novel protein that is orthologous to the IFT52 component of the intraflagellar transport particle; osm-6 activity is required cell autonomously for proper sensory cilium structure and thus for normal ciliated sensory neuron function; OSM-6 is a component of the intraflagellar transport particle subcomplex B, and OSM-6::GFP reporter fusions are expressed exclusively in ciliated sensory neurons.
