Fused (Stk36) is a ciliary protein required for central pair assembly and motile cilia orientation in the mammalian oviduct
1 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Motile cilia on the inner lining of the oviductal epithelium play a central role in ovum transport toward the uterus and subsequent fertilization by sperm. While the basic ultrastructure of 9+2 motile cilia (nine peripheral microtubule doublets surrounding a central pair) has been characterized, many important steps of ciliogenesis remain poorly understood. RESULTS: Our previous studies on mammalian...
