Plays a role in axonemal structure organization and motility. Involved in axonemal pre-assembly of inner and outer dynein arms (IDA and ODA, respectively) for proper axoneme building for cilia motility (By similarity). May act by indirectly regulating transcription of dynein proteins (By similarity). Interacts with LRRC6. Localizes both to the basal body and the striated rootlet, an appendage that projects away from the basal body into the cytoplasm. Ciliopathy phenotypes. Although a large percentage of cells fail to generate cilia because of a substantial defect in ciliogenesis, the numbers of centrioles is apparently normal. Belongs to the ZMYND10 family.
