Term Information

Accession
GO:0005930
Name
axoneme
Ontology
cellular_component
Synonyms
ciliary axoneme, cilium axoneme, flagellar axoneme, flagellum axoneme
Alternate IDs
GO:0035085, GO:0035086
Definition
The bundle of microtubules and associated proteins that forms the core of cilia (also called flagella) in eukaryotic cells and is responsible for their movements. Source: GOC:cilia, ISBN:0198547684, GOC:bf
Comment
Note that cilia and eukaryotic flagella are deemed to be equivalent. In diplomonad species, such as Giardia, the axoneme may extend intracellularly up to 5um away from the plane of the plasma membrane.
