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. Predicted to act upstream of or within cerebrospinal fluid circulation and mucociliary clearance. Predicted to be located in 9+2 motile cilium and distal portion of axoneme. Predicted to be part of outer dynein arm. Predicted to be active in axoneme and motile cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 40. Orthologous to human DNAH9 (dynein axonemal heavy chain 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
