The function of CIMAP3 (ciliary microtubule associated protein 3, ENSG00000173947) is as follows. During primary cilia disassembly, involved in cilia disassembly. Required specifically to control cilia retraction as well as the liberation and duplication of the basal body/centrosome. May act by stimulating AURKA activity at the basal body in a cell cycle- dependent manner. .
