Predicted to enable alpha-tubulin binding activity and dynein heavy chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in outer dynein arm assembly. Predicted to be located in cell projection and microtubule. Predicted to be part of dynein complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 16. Orthologous to human DNAL1 (dynein axonemal light chain 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
