Term Information

Accession: GO:0036126
Name: sperm flagellum
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: sperm cilium, sperm tail
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A microtubule-based flagellum (or cilium) that is part of a sperm, a mature male germ cell that develops from a spermatid. Source: GOC:cilia, GOC:sart, PMID:8441407
Comment: Note that cilia and eukaryotic flagella are deemed to be equivalent. In this case community usage is always 'flagellum', hence the primary term name, but the cilium parentage is deliberate.
