Function

WDR64 — A sperm flagella-specific protein, associated with motile flagella, likely contributing to axonemal structure but not present in somatic motile cilia(39743588). Identified by cryo-EM as an external microtubule-associated protein of the doublet microtubules in sperm flagella (Leung et al., 2025, Nature, PMID 39743588).
