| Name: | ciliary transition zone |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | cilial transition zone, cilium transition zone, connecting cilium |
| Definition: | A region of the cilium between the basal body and proximal segment that is characterized by Y-shaped assemblages that connect axonemal microtubules to the ciliary membrane. The ciliary transition zone appears to function as a gate that controls ciliary membrane composition and separates the cytosol from the ciliary plasm. |
