This complex acts as the molecular motor that provides the force to move cilia in an ATP-dependent manner. The encoded protein is expressed in tissues with motile cilia or flagella and may be involved in the movement of sperm flagella. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011] Expression Broad expression in thyroid (RPKM 3.1), brain (RPKM 3.1) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
