MUT-1388 vfl1 mt+
Datasheet
Catalog No: ALS-01781
Product Details
Subategory:
Mutants
Description:
Mutants at the VFL1 locus typically have between 0 and 4 flagella, sometimes as many as 10. Cell size and shape are often abnormal, probably as a result of unequal cell divisions. Flagellar assembly continues throughout the G1 portion of the cell cycle. This feature is unique to vfl cells. Flagella can appear at any site on the cell surface, and there may be defects in the flagellar apparatus, including missing or defective striated fibers and reduced numbers of rootlet microtubules. In contrast to vfl2 mutants, vfl1 has normal levels of centrin and a stable nucleus-basal body connector.
