Dnaaf5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable dynein intermediate chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium movement; inner dynein arm assembly; and outer dynein arm assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol; mitotic spindle; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 18. Orthologous to human DNAAF5 (dynein axonemal assembly factor 5). [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 Dnaaf5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
