Full name: fuzzy planar cell polarity protein

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CPLANE3; FY; NTD

Summary: This gene encodes a planar cell polarity protein that is involved in ciliogenesis and directional cell movement. Knockout studies in mice exhibit neural tube defects and defective cilia, and mutations in this gene are associated with neural tube defects in humans. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
