Dync1i2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable dynein heavy chain binding activity and dynein light chain binding activity. Involved in cellular response to nerve growth factor stimulus and negative regulation of neuron projection development. Predicted to be located in centrosome; microtubule; and vesicle. Predicted to be part of cytoplasmic dynein complex and outer dynein arm. Orthologous to human DYNC1I2 (dynein cytoplasmic 1 intermediate chain 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 rat Dync1i2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
