| GO term: | motile cilium |
| Synonym: | microtubule-based flagellum |
| Synonym: | motile cilia |
| Synonym: | motile secondary cilium |
| GO id: | GO:0031514 |
| Definition: | A cilium which has a variable arrangement of axonemal microtubules, contains molecular motors, and beats with a characteristic whip-like pattern that promotes cell motility or transport of fluids and other cells across a cell surface. Motile cilia are typically found in multiple copies on epithelial cells that line the lumenal ducts of various tissues. Motile cilia may also function as sensory organelles. |
| Comments | MERGED COMMENT:\nTARGET COMMENT: MERGED COMMENT:\nTARGET COMMENT: Note that this term should not be confused with 'motile primary cilium ; GO:0031512': Motile cilia are distinct from motile primary cilia (GO:0031512) that are typically present during embryogenesis in a single copy per cell, affect asymmetric body plan organization, and move in a rotational manner, as opposed to a whip-like, manner.\n--------------------\nSOURCE COMMENT: See also the cellular component term 'cilium ; GO:0005929'.\n--------------------\nSOURCE COMMENT: See also the cellular component term 'cilium ; GO:0005929'. |
