Summary
Enables dynein heavy chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intraciliary retrograde transport; intraciliary transport involved in cilium assembly; and regulation of cilium assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within cilium assembly and determination of left/right symmetry. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including centrosome; ciliary transition zone; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Predicted to be active in axoneme and ciliary basal body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy. Orthologous to human DYNC2LI1 (dynein cytoplasmic 2 light intermediate chain 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
