Dync2h1 - dynein cytoplasmic 2 heavy chain 1

Enables dynein light intermediate chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in Golgi organization; cilium assembly; and intraciliary retrograde transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; non-motile cilium assembly; and positive regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; apical part of cell; and microtubule. Predicted to be part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Predicted to be active in axoneme and motile cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 3. Orthologous to human DYNC2H1 (dynein cytoplasmic 2 heavy chain 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
