Dync2li1 Gene Summary [Rat]
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]

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 rat Dync2li1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
