Function

CD81 and CD82 localized in cilia (26585297).

Model organism evidence

C. elegans (2 references)

Single-molecule tracking demonstrates that the tetraspanin TSP-6 enters and diffuses within the cilia and does it independently of IFT.

To maintain cilia composition, a tight regulation of cargo import and removal is achieved by the action of intra-flagellar transport (IFT).
