Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Radial spoke head protein 4 homolog A , also known as radial spoke head-like protein 3 , is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RSPH4A gene .[5] [6]
Function TRadial spoke head protein 4 homolog A appears to be a component the radial spoke head, as determined by homology to similar proteins in the biflagellate alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cilia , sperm, and flagella axonemes , consist of a thin 'stalk' and a bulbous 'head' that form a signal transduction scaffold between the central pair of microtubules and dynein .[5]
Clinical significance Mutations in the RSPH4A gene are associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia .[6]
