Predicted to enable dynein heavy chain binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within centrosome localization and microtubule cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to be located in kinetochore. Predicted to be part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Predicted to colocalize with centrosome; late endosome; and lysosome. Orthologous to human DYNC1LI2 (dynein cytoplasmic 1 light intermediate chain 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
