Dync2i1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable dynein heavy chain binding activity and dynein light chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intraciliary retrograde transport. Located in cilium. Is expressed in mandible; maxilla; olfactory epithelium; and orbito-sphenoid. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in short-rib thoracic dysplasia 8 with or without polydactyly. Orthologous to human DYNC2I1 (dynein 2 intermediate chain 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Dync2i1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
