Mouse tracheal cilia

Species name: Mus musculus

Hamamatsu Univ Sch Med Koji Ikegami

Moving cilia on mouse tracheal epithelia. The beating frequency is about 10 to 20 Hz. The batch of cilia shows a wavelike motility, so-called metachronal wave.

Tubulin polyglutamylation is essential for airway ciliary function through the regulation of beating asymmetry [Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 107(23), 10490-10495, 2010]
