Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a flagellum, a long thin projection from a cell, used in movement. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a cellular component. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the formation of a flagellum. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the formation of a flagellum. Formation of a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. The assembly of a flagellum. In bacteria, this is a whiplike motility appendage present on the surface of some species; in eukaryotes, flagella are threadlike protoplasmic extensions used to propel flagellates and sperm. Flagella are composed of flagellin and have the same basic structure as cilia but are longer in proportion to the cell and present in much smaller numbers. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the formation of a flagellum. The assembly of the bundle of microtubules and associated proteins that forms the core of flagellar in eukaryotic cells and is responsible for their movements.
