Description
IFT140 is one of the core components (together with WDR19/IFT144 and IFT122) of the IFT-A complex which is required for retrograde ciliary transport and entry into cilia of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), being involved in cilia function and/or assembly
[1, 2]. IFT-A polymerises interacts with IFT-B, and uses an array of beta-propeller and TPR domains to create 'carriages' of the IFT train that engage TULP adaptor proteins
[2]. The beta-propeller domains of IFT140 contact the beta-propeller domains of IFT121 from the adjacent complex
[1]. This entry represents the TPR domain found at the C-terminal of IFT140.
