Abstract
Tektins, a family of microtubule-stabilizing proteins, are critical for cilia and flagella assembly in mammals. They maintain doublet microtubule stability and ciliary/flagellar motility. Loss of Tekt1-5 causes microtubule instability, impaired motility, and diseases like infertility, retinal degeneration, Mainzer-Saldino syndrome, and diabetic nephropathy. Pathophysiological stimuli regulate Tektin expression through transcriptional, posttranscriptional, translational, and posttranslational modifications. This review summarizes the latest findings on Tektin functions and their role in diseases.
