DNAAF5 dynein axonemal assembly factor 5

Gene ID: 54919, updated on 13-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CILD18; HEATR2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is essential for the preassembly or stability of axonemal dynein arms, and is found only in organisms with motile cilia and flagella. Mutations in this gene are associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia-18, a disorder characterized by abnormalities of motile cilia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]
