Nexin

Protein in undulipodia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nexin is a proteinous inter-doublet linkage that prevents microtubules in the outer layer of axonemes from moving with respect to one another; otherwise, vesicular transport proteins such as dynein would dissolve the whole structure.[1]

Nexin can be located on this cross-section of an axoneme
