Gene: DYNC1I2

Alternate names for this Gene: DIC74|DNCI2|IC2|NEDMIBA

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q31.1

Description of this Gene: dynein cytoplasmic 1 intermediate chain 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
