DYNC1I2 dynein cytoplasmic 1 intermediate chain 2

Gene ID: 1781, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IC2; DIC74; DNCI2; NEDMIBA

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the dynein intermediate chain family. The encoded protein is a non-catalytic component of the cytoplasmic dynein 1 complex, which acts as a retrograde microtubule motor to transport organelles and vesicles. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 10. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
