Has a role in ciliogenesis and is required for proper cephalic and left/right axis development. Depletion of ccdc32 using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing results in disrupted cardiac looping in embryos at 2 dpf, reduced number and length of cilia in Kupffer's vesicle, and in a significant reduction of head size at 3 dpf. Furthermore, ccdc32 crispants exhibit significant alterations in facial skeletal morphology and have hypoplastic cerebella.
