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 ttcp26 , tetratricopeptide repeat domain 26 to ift56, intraflagellar transport 56.

Note the 3 Human genes in this group are now have the following synonyms, although IFT70B does not seem to have an ortholog in Xenopus:

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
