DEUP1 functions as a scaffold for basal foot integrity and planar polarity in multiciliated cells.

At stage 24, both the size of BB patches and the total number of BBs in deup1 morphants were mildly reduced relative to controls; however, this difference did not reach statistical significance ( P > 0.04; supplementary Fig. 5e, f ), suggesting that early BB formation and ciliogenesis are largely preserved during initial stages of epidermal development.
