Term Information

Accession: GO:0097544
Name: ciliary shaft
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: cilial shaft, cilium shaft, flagellar shaft, flagellum shaft
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The mid part of a cilium between the ciliary base and ciliary tip that extends into the extracellular space. Source: GOC:krc, GOC:cilia, PMID:19866682
Comment: Note that 'ciliary shaft' is sparingly used in the literature to denote the projecting part of the cilium; many authors would refer to the axoneme instead. However, the definition of GO:0005930 'axoneme' is rather stringent, and the localization of many ciliary proteins would not fit that definition. Also, note that cilia and eukaryotic flagella are deemed to be equivalent.
