DNAH5 dynein axonemal heavy chain 5

Gene ID: 1767, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HL1; PCD; CILD3; KTGNR; DNAHC5

Summary

This gene encodes a dynein protein, which is part of a microtubule-associated motor protein complex consisting of heavy, light, and intermediate chains. This protein is an axonemal heavy chain dynein. It functions as a force-generating protein with ATPase activity, whereby the release of ADP is thought to produce the force-producing power stroke. Mutations in this gene cause primary ciliary dyskinesia type 3, as well as Kartagener syndrome, which are both diseases due to ciliary defects. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
