Dnaaf2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

This gene encodes a highly conserved protein involved in the preassembly of dynein arm complexes which power cilia. These complexes are found in some cilia and are assembled in the cytoplasm prior to transport for cilia formation. Mutations in the human gene have been associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia.

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 Dnaaf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • PIH1 CS-like domain
  • alpha-crystallin Hsps/p23-like
  • protein binding
