geneOn this page
Summary
CIMIP2B (ciliary microtubule inner protein 2B, HGNC:34242) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9p13.3, encoding Ciliary microtubule inner protein 2B (A8MTA8). 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.
