Summary
CIMIP2A (ciliary microtubule inner protein 2A, HGNC:33818) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9q34.3, encoding Ciliary microtubule inner protein 2A (Q6J272). Microtubule inner protein (MIP) part of the dynein-decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) in flagellum axoneme.
Predicted to be involved in flagellated sperm motility. Located in ciliary basal body.
