Term Information

Accession
GO:0097729
Name
9+2 motile cilium
Ontology
cellular_component
Synonyms
motile 9+2 cilium, conventional motile cilium, sperm flagellum
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
A motile cilium where the axoneme has a ring of nine outer microtubule doublets plus two central microtubules (and is therefore called a 9+2 axoneme). Source: GOC:cilia, PMID:22118931
Comment
This type of cilia may be present in solitary (so-called flagella, e.g. in sperm) or in multiple copies (so-called conventional motile cilia, e.g. in tracheal epithelium, ependyma or oviduct epithelium).
