Ciliogenesis, the Glossary
Ciliogenesis is defined as the building of the cell's antenna (primary cilia) or extracellular fluid mediation mechanism (motile cilium).[1]

Acetylation
In chemistry, acetylation is an organic esterification reaction with acetic acid.
See Ciliogenesis and Acetylation
Alström syndrome
Alström syndrome (AS), also called Alström–Hallgren syndrome, is a very rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterised by childhood obesity and multiple organ dysfunction.
See Ciliogenesis and Alström syndrome
Axoneme
In molecular biology, an axoneme, also called an axial filament, is the microtubule-based cytoskeletal structure that forms the core of a cilium or flagellum. Ciliogenesis and axoneme are organelles.
Bardet–Biedl syndrome
Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathic human genetic disorder that produces many effects and affects many body systems.
See Ciliogenesis and Bardet–Biedl syndrome
Basal body
A basal body (synonymous with basal granule, kinetosome, and in older cytological literature with blepharoplast) is a protein structure found at the base of a eukaryotic undulipodium (cilium or flagellum). The basal body was named by Theodor Wilhelm Engelmann in 1880. It is formed from a centriole and several additional protein structures, and is, essentially, a modified centriole. Ciliogenesis and basal body are organelles.
See Ciliogenesis and Basal body
Cell cortex
The cell cortex, also known as the actin cortex, cortical cytoskeleton or actomyosin cortex, is a specialized layer of cytoplasmic proteins on the inner face of the cell membrane. Ciliogenesis and cell cortex are cell biology.
See Ciliogenesis and Cell cortex
Cell cycle
The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the sequential series of events that take place in a cell that causes it to divide into two daughter cells.
See Ciliogenesis and Cell cycle
Cell membrane
The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates and protects the interior of a cell from the outside environment (the extracellular space). Ciliogenesis and cell membrane are organelles.
See Ciliogenesis and Cell membrane
Cell signaling
In biology, cell signaling (cell signalling in British English) is the process by which a cell interacts with itself, other cells, and the environment. Ciliogenesis and cell signaling are cell biology.
See Ciliogenesis and Cell signaling
Ciliopathy
A ciliopathy is any genetic disorder that affects the cellular cilia or the cilia anchoring structures, the basal bodies, or ciliary function.
See Ciliogenesis and Ciliopathy
Cilium
The cilium (cilia;; in anatomy, cilium is an eyelash) is a membrane-bound organelle found on most types of eukaryotic cell. Ciliogenesis and cilium are organelles.
Depolymerization
Depolymerization (or depolymerisation) is the process of converting a polymer into a monomer or a mixture of monomers.
See Ciliogenesis and Depolymerization
Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) occurs within the brain.
See Ciliogenesis and Hydrocephalus
Intraflagellar transport
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is a bidirectional motility along axoneme microtubules that is essential for the formation (ciliogenesis) and maintenance of most eukaryotic cilia and flagella.
See Ciliogenesis and Intraflagellar transport
Meckel–Gruber syndrome
Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a rare, lethal ciliopathic genetic disorder, characterized by renal cystic dysplasia, central nervous system malformations (occipital encephalocele), polydactyly (postaxial), hepatic developmental defects, and pulmonary hypoplasia due to oligohydramnios.
See Ciliogenesis and Meckel–Gruber syndrome
Microtubule
Microtubules are polymers of tubulin that form part of the cytoskeleton and provide structure and shape to eukaryotic cells.
See Ciliogenesis and Microtubule
Nephronophthisis
Nephronophthisis is a genetic disorder of the kidneys which affects children.
See Ciliogenesis and Nephronophthisis
Polycystic kidney disease
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD or PCKD, also known as polycystic kidney syndrome) is a genetic disorder in which the renal tubules become structurally abnormal, resulting in the development and growth of multiple cysts within the kidney.
See Ciliogenesis and Polycystic kidney disease
Polycystic liver disease
Polycystic liver disease (PLD) usually describes the presence of multiple cysts scattered throughout normal liver tissue.
See Ciliogenesis and Polycystic liver disease
Primary ciliary dyskinesia
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, autosomal recessive genetic ciliopathy, that causes defects in the action of cilia lining the upper and lower respiratory tract, sinuses, Eustachian tube, middle ear, fallopian tube, and flagella of sperm cells.
See Ciliogenesis and Primary ciliary dyskinesia
Retinopathy
Retinopathy is any damage to the retina of the eyes, which may cause vision impairment.
See Ciliogenesis and Retinopathy
Tubulin
Tubulin in molecular biology can refer either to the tubulin protein superfamily of globular proteins, or one of the member proteins of that superfamily.
Vesicle (biology and chemistry)
In cell biology, a vesicle is a structure within or outside a cell, consisting of liquid or cytoplasm enclosed by a lipid bilayer. Ciliogenesis and vesicle (biology and chemistry) are organelles.
