DYNC1LI1 - Dynein Cytoplasmic 1 Light Intermediate Chain 1

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to light intermediate subunit family, whose members are components of the multiprotein cytoplasmic dynein complex, which is involved in intracellular trafficking and chromosome segregation during mitosis. The protein plays a role in moving the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) from kinetochores to spindle poles. The protein may also mediate binding to other cargo molecules to facilitate intracellular vesicle trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
