Cytoplasmic dynein 2 intermediate chain 1

UniProtKB accession:  Q8WVS4

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein 2 complex (dynein-2 complex), a motor protein complex that drives the movement of cargos along microtubules within cilia and flagella in concert with the intraflagellar transport (IFT) system (PubMed:23910462, PubMed:25205765, PubMed:31451806, PubMed:29742051). DYNC2I1 plays a major role in retrograde ciliary protein trafficking in cilia and flagella (PubMed:29742051, PubMed:30320547, PubMed:30649997). Requires also to maintain a functional transition zone (PubMed:30320547).
