UniProtKB accession:  F1N7G5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Microtubule inner protein (MIP) part of the dynein-decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) in cilia axoneme, which is required for motile cilia beating (PubMed:34715025, PubMed:37327785). Regulates motility patterns of both 9+0 and 9+2 motile cilia through differential localization and recruitment of axonemal dynein components (By similarity). Required for centriolar satellite integrity and non-motile cilium assembly (By similarity). Required for motile cilium formation (By similarity). Through its role in beating of primary cilia, involved in the establishment of organ laterality during embryogenesis (PubMed:34715025). Required for sperm flagellum biogenesis and is essential for male fertility (By similarity).
