Dync2i1 - dynein 2 intermediate chain 1

Predicted to enable dynein heavy chain binding activity and dynein light chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and intraciliary retrograde transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell projection organization. Located in cilium. Is expressed in mandible; maxilla; olfactory epithelium; and orbito-sphenoid. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in short-rib thoracic dysplasia 8 with or without polydactyly. Orthologous to human DYNC2I1 (dynein 2 intermediate chain 1).
