Dnah5 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 cilium movement involved in cell motility and outer dynein arm assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; flagellated sperm motility; and lateral ventricle development. Predicted to be located in 9+0 motile cilium; axoneme; and glial cell projection. Predicted to be part of outer dynein arm. Predicted to be active in 9+2 motile cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Kartagener syndrome and primary ciliary dyskinesia 3. Orthologous to human DNAH5 (dynein axonemal heavy chain 5).

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 Dnah5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
