Function
Super-resolution imaging reveals that CCDC89 localizes to the axonemal lumen in motile cilia of mouse ependymal multiciliated cells(PMID: 41074672). The presence of CCDC89 is required for normal sperm motility and therefore optimal male fertility in mice, while CCDC89 variants affected spermatogenesis in both mice and humans(PMID: 40591933).
