Term:ventral disc microtubule array
go back to main search page
Accession:GO:0097593 term browser browse the term
Definition:A part of the ventral disc of Giardia species (trophozoite stage) consisting of a spiral array of microtubules linked to the ventral membrane. These microtubules form the base of the ventral disc dorsal microribbons that extend nearly perpendicular from the membrane.
Comment:Due to the asymmetric nature of the Giardia trophozoite, this term is defined spatially as the trophozoite is viewed from the dorsal side, with the two nuclei dorsal to the ventral disc, and the ventral disc toward the anterior.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: ventral disc spiral microtubule array
 broad_synonym: spiral microtubule array
