| Function |
Structural component of ciliary and flagellar microtubules. Plays a key role in the assembly or attachment of the inner dynein arm to microtubules in sperm flagella and tracheal cilia. Forms filamentous polymers in the walls of ciliary and flagellar microtubules (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell projection, cilium, flagellum. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium axoneme. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, flagellum axoneme. Note=In sperm, observed in a discontinuous punctate pattern in the flagellum and in the postacrosomal head region.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed at high levels in testis, trachea and fetal lung, and at lower levels in ovary, pituitary, adult lung, fetal brain and fetal kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11751288}.
