Nexin

Nexin can be located on this cross-section of an axoneme
Nexin is a proteinous inter-doublet linkage that prevents microtubules in the outer layer of axonemes from movement with respect to each other. Otherwise vesicular transport proteins such as dynein would dissolve the whole structure.[1]
