Abstract excerpt
Primary cilia are antenna-like structures protruding from the surface of various eukaryotic cells, and have distinct protein compositions in their membranes. This distinct protein composition is maintained by the presence of the transition zone (TZ) at the ciliary base, which acts as a diffusion barrier between the ciliary and plasma membranes. Defects in cilia and the TZ are known to cause a group of disorders...
