cytoplasmic dynein 2 light intermediate chain 1 (dynein 2 light intermediate chain, DYNC2LI1, D2LIC, LIC3, CGI-60)

Function

• motor for intraflagellar retrograde transport (putative)
• cilia biogenesis (putative)
• cytoplasmic dynein complex 2 is probably composed by a DYNC2H1 homodimer & a number of DYNC2LI1 light intermediate chains (putative)

Structure

belongs to the dynein light intermediate chain family

Compartment

• cell projection, cilium axoneme
• cytoplasm (putative)
• localizes to the apical cytoplasm (putative)

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=5

More general terms

• dynein intermediate chain
