The function of IFT52 (intraflagellar transport 52, Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000101052) is as follows. Involved in ciliogenesis as part of a complex involved in intraflagellar transport (IFT), the bi-directional movement of particles required for the assembly, maintenance and functioning of primary cilia (PubMed:27466190). Required for the anterograde transport of IFT88 (PubMed:27466190). .
