Dnaaf2 - dynein, axonemal assembly factor 2

This gene encodes a highly conserved protein involved in the preassembly of dynein arm complexes which power cilia. These complexes are found in some cilia and are assembled in the cytoplasm prior to transport for cilia formation. Mutations in the human gene have been associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia.
