Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable dynein intermediate chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium movement; inner dynein arm assembly; and outer dynein arm assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell projection organization. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Used to study male infertility and primary ciliary dyskinesia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 18. Orthologous to human DNAAF5 (dynein axonemal assembly factor 5).
