Dnah17 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable dynein intermediate chain binding activity; dynein light intermediate chain binding activity; and minus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium movement involved in cell motility and outer dynein arm assembly. Predicted to be located in sperm flagellum. Predicted to be part of outer dynein arm. Predicted to be active in 9+2 motile cilium and axoneme. Used to study spermatogenic failure 39. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 39. Orthologous to human DNAH17 (dynein axonemal heavy chain 17). [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 Dnah17 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
