| axoneme |
Axoneme is the core scaffold of an eukaryotic cilium and flagellum. Biochemical analysis identified more than 250 components which constitute an axoneme. The characteristic feather of the axoneme is its “9 + 2” arrangement of microtubules and associated proteins. Nine pairs of microtubule protofilament doublets form a ring and surround two central single microtubules. Ciliary dynein motor protein complexes attach to one of the microtubules from each set of outer doublets. ...
