nomenclature changes
27FEB2023
THE HGNC, after a request from some of our specialist advisors and a consultation with authors publishing on these genes , have updated the nomenclature of three flagellar transport genes in human as follows: from TTCP26 , tetratricopeptide repeat domain 26 to IFT56, intraflagellar transport 56. This is now more functionally informative and in line with their Chlamydomonas orthologs.
Xenopus gene names follow that of human, so the Xenopus gene name has also changed from ttc30a , tetratricopeptide repeat domain 30 a to ift70a, intraflagellar transport 70a.
Note the 3 genes in this group are now have the following synonyms:
GENE SYMBOL: IFT56 GENE NAME: intraflagellar transport 56 SYNONYMS: TTC26, FLJ12571, dyf-13, DYF13
GENE SYMBOL: IFT70A GENE NAME: intraflagellar transport 70A SYNONYMS: TTC30A, FLJ13946, FAP259, CFAP259
GENE SYMBOL: IFT70B GENE NAME: intraflagellar transport 70B SYNONYMS: TTC30B, FLJ30990, fleer
