General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction disrupting expression of isoform TTBK-d results in loss of spermatozoa, but not spermatids. In the soma, isoform TTBK-d RNAi impairs the function of multiciliated epidermal cells in propelling planarian movement, as well as the osmoregulatory function of protonephridia. Decreased density and structural defects of motile cilia are observed in the epidermis Schmidtea mediterranea
physiological function isoform TTBK-d is specifically required in postmeiotic regulation of spermatogenesis. Isoform TTBK-d is required for the structural integrity of planarian motile cilia and protonephridial units Schmidtea mediterranea
