Predicted to enable several functions, including GDP binding activity; dynein heavy chain binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to nerve growth factor stimulus; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of cell cycle process. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division. Predicted to be located in kinetochore and spindle pole. Predicted to be part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Predicted to colocalize with centrosome; late endosome; and lysosome. Orthologous to human DYNC1LI1 (dynein cytoplasmic 1 light intermediate chain 1).
