DNAI1: Proteins and Enzymes

The inner- and outer-arm dyneins, which bridge between the doublet microtubules in axonemes, are the force-generatingproteins responsible for the sliding movement in axonemes. The intermediate and light chains, thought to form the baseof the dynein arm, help mediate attachment and may also participate in regulating dynein activity. This gene encodesan intermediate chain dynein, belonging to the large family of motor proteins. Mutations in this gene result inabnormal ciliary ultrastructure and function associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and Kartagener syndrome.(provided by RefSeq)
