Abstract excerpt
The primary cilium is a sensory organelle, receiving signals from the external environment and relaying them into the cell. Mutations in proteins required for transport in the primary cilium result in ciliopathies, a group of genetic disorders that commonly lead to the malformation of organs such as the kidney, liver and eyes and skeletal dysplasias. The motor proteins dynein-2 and kinesin-2 mediate retrograde...
