Predicted to enable dynein heavy chain binding activity and dynein light chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly and intraciliary retrograde transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axoneme; filopodium; and microtubule organizing center. Predicted to be part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Predicted to be active in ciliary plasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in short-rib thoracic dysplasia 11 with or without polydactyly. Orthologous to human DYNC2I2 (dynein 2 intermediate chain 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
