| Tissue Specificity | Expressed at high levels in testis, trachea and fetal lung, and at lower levels in ovary, pituitary, adult lung, fetal brain and fetal kidney. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Tyrosine phosphorylated. Ubiquitinated, leading to its degradation. Deubiquitinated by USP16, promoting its stability. |
| Function | Microtubule inner protein (MIP) part of the dynein-decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) in cilia and flagellar axoneme. Plays a key role in the assembly or attachment of the inner dynein arm to microtubules in sperm flagella and tracheal cilia. Forms filamentous polymers in the walls of ciliary and flagellar microtubules. |
