Involved in primary cilium formation (PubMed:19852954, PubMed:28530676). Probably acts as a transition zone protein required for localization of PKD1/PC1 and PKD2/PC2 to the ciliary membrane (PubMed:28530676). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19852954, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28530676}. This is the function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000158163 (DZIP1L, DAZ interacting zinc finger protein 1 like).
