Also known as LOC129881

Summary

CFAP210 (cilia and flagella associated protein 210, HGNC:25064) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q31.1, encoding Cilia- and flagella- associated protein 210 (Q0VFZ6). 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.
