Predicted to enable several functions, including dynein intermediate chain binding activity; dynein light intermediate chain binding activity; and scaffold protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium assembly and negative regulation of phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axon cytoplasm; kinetochore; and microtubule cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of COP9 signalosome and cytoplasmic dynein complex. Predicted to colocalize with mitochondrion. Orthologous to human DYNLL1 (dynein light chain LC8-type 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
