Tektin family. Tektins are cytoskeletal proteins. They have been demonstrated in such cellular sites as centrioles, basal bodies, and along ciliary and flagellar doublet microtubules. Tektins form unique protofilaments, organised as longitudinal polymers of tektin heterodimers with axial periodicity matching tubulin. Tektin polypeptides consist of several alpha-helical regions that are predicted to form coiled coils. Indeed, tektins share considerable structural similarities with intermediate filament proteins. Possible functional roles for tektins are: stabilisation of tubulin protofilaments; attachment of A and B-tubules in ciliary/flagellar microtubule doublets and C-tubules in centrioles; binding of axonemal components.

Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:  No Conserved Features/Sites Found for Tektin
