Dnah1 Gene Summary [Rat]

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 sperm axoneme assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within cilium movement involved in cell motility; epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; and inner dynein arm assembly. Predicted to be located in axoneme. Predicted to be part of inner dynein arm. Predicted to be active in sperm flagellum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 37 and spermatogenic failure 18. Orthologous to human DNAH1 (dynein axonemal heavy chain 1).

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 Dnah1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Dynein heavy chain, N-terminal region 2
  • P-loop containing dynein motor region D4
  • Dynein heavy chain AAA lid domain
  • AAA domain (dynein-related subfamily)
  • Dynein heavy chain C-terminal domain
  • ATP-binding dynein motor region
  • Dynein heavy chain region D6 P-loop domain
  • Hydrolytic ATP binding site of dynein motor region
  • Microtubule-binding stalk of dynein motor
  • AAA+ lid domain
  • P-loop containing Nucleoside Triphosphate Hydrolases
  • P-loop containing dynein motor region
