Part of the tectonic-like complex which is required for tissue-specific ciliogenesis and may regulate ciliary membrane composition (By similarity). May be involved in apoptosis regulation. Necessary for signal transduction through the sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17464193, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22883145}. This is the function of TCTN3 (tectonic family member 3, ENSG00000119977).
