RSPH9 explained

Radial spoke head protein 9 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RSPH9 gene.^{[1] [2]}

Function

This gene encodes a protein thought to be a component of the radial spoke head in motile cilia and flagellawhich then releases antibodies .^[1]

Clinical significance

Mutation in this gene are associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia.^[2]
