Term Information

Accession: GO:0097608
Name: transverse flagellum
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: transverse cilium
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A motile cilium found in dinoflagellates. It coils around the cell and provides the forward thrust for motility. It is often contained in a furrow called the cingulum, and emerges from a flagellar pore located in the cingulum.

Comment: Note that we deem cilium and microtubule-based flagellum to be equivalent. In this case community usage refers to 'flagellum' rather than 'cilium', hence the primary term name, but the cilium parentage is deliberate.
