description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable dynein intermediate chain binding activity. Acts upstream of or within microtubule-based movement. Located in cytosol; membrane; and sperm flagellum. Part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Is expressed in forelimb bud. Orthologous to human DYNLT2 (dynein light chain Tctex-type 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit some male infertility, oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, and abnormal sperm morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
