Overview

Intraflagellar transport protein 74 homolog (IFT74) is a core component of the IFT-B complex, essential for the assembly and function of motile and primary cilia. IFT74, often forming a heterodimer with IFT81, facilitates the binding and transport of tubulin and other cargo along axonemal microtubules for ciliogenesis. Mutations in IFT74 are implicated in a range of ciliopathies affecting development, organ function, and ciliary motility, including Joubert syndrome, Bardet–Biedl syndrome, and certain neurodegenerative disorders[1][2][4][3][6]. IFT74 is not considered a traditional drug target but is a vital structural and functional player in cellular ciliary biology.
