Cilia are important for protecting the respiratory tract by providing the necessary force for mucociliary clearance. Although the major structural components of human cilia have been identified, identification and characterization of all ciliary components is required for a thorough understanding of cilia function and control. According to research on Chlamydomonas flagella, an axonemal comprises about 250 proteins. We have started a comprehensive proteome investigation of isolated ciliary axonemal to discover all the components of human cilia.
