Protein name Tektin-2 (Tektin-t) (Testicular tektin) (Testicular tektin B1-like protein) (TEKTB1) (Tektin-B1)
Protein function Microtubule inner protein (MIP) part of the dynein-decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) in cilia and flagellar axoneme (PubMed:36191189). Plays a key role in the assembly or attachment of the inner dynein arm to microtubules in sperm flagella a
