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. Part of cytoplasmic dynein complex and myosin V complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; sensory organ; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human DYNLL2 (dynein light chain LC8-type 2).
