Summary
CFAP141 (cilia and flagella associated protein 141, HGNC:32305) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q21.3, encoding Cilia- and flagella-associated protein 141 (Q5VU69). Microtubule inner protein (MIP) part of the dynein-decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) in cilia axoneme, which is required for motile cilia beating.
Predicted to be involved in flagellated sperm motility. Located in axonemal microtubule.
