Acts as a suppressor of ciliogenesis, specifically, the initiation of ciliogenesis. Localizes to centrioles in proliferative cells and basal bodies in ciliated cells (PubMed:17485331). Disappears during ciliogenesis but reappears, albeit at a lower levels once ciliogenesis has completed (PubMed:28775150). Not present in the centrioles in cycling cells. Disappears during ciliogenesis. Disappears during ciliogenesis but reappears, albeit at a lower levels once ciliogenesis has completed. Mainly expressed in trachea and testis. Not detected in bone marrow, bladder, leukocytes. Only weakly detected in tongue, stomach, brain and ovaries. Belongs to the ODF2 family. Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence. Truncated C-terminus. Extended N-terminus.
