The Mechanosensory Role of Primary Cilia in Vascular Hypertension

Table 2

Five distinct domains of a cilium.

Domains	Functions
Ciliary membrane	Localization of chemo- and mechanosensory proteins
Soluble compartment	Localization of signaling molecules
Axoneme	Structural protein to support ciliary transport
Ciliary tip	Localization of specialized signaling molecules
Basal body	Network foundation for structural ciliary protein
