The protein encoded by this gene, together with IFT74, forms a tubulin-binding module of intraflagellar transport complex B. This module is involved in transport of tubulin within the cilium, and the encoded protein is required for ciliogenesis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of short-rib polydactyly syndromes.

Forensic Context
A study in rats demonstrated that the IFT81 is a highly connected member of a brain gene co-expression module associated with voluntary alcohol consumption [Saba et al. DOI:10.1111/Gbb.12698].
