Dynll2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable dynein intermediate chain binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and scaffold protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule-based process. Part of cytoplasmic dynein complex and myosin V complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; node; sensory organ; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human DYNLL2 (dynein light chain LC8-type 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Dynll2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
