General Information
Term cilium assembly ID (Ontology) GO:0060271 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The assembly of a cilium, a specialized eukaryotic organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface. Each cilium is bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored basally in a centriole.[ ISBN:0198506732 PubMed:13978319 PubMed:27350441 ]
Also Known As "ciliogenesis" ; "cilium formation" ; "microtubule-based flagellum assembly"
