Term info
Label
Dynein arm defect of respiratory motile cilia
comment
The peripheral microtubules in the canonical 9 + 2 microtubular pattern of motile cilia are studded with dynein arms that contain adenosine triphosphatases and act as molecular motors to effect the sliding of the peripheral microtubular pairs relative to one another.
