General Information

Term

ciliary rootlet

ID (Ontology)

GO:0035253 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

A cytoskeleton-like structure, originating from the basal body at the proximal end of a cilium, and extending proximally toward the cell nucleus. Rootlets are typically 80-100 nm in diameter and contain cross striae distributed at regular intervals of approximately 55-70 nm.[ PubMed:12427867 ]
