DNAH9( Human )
dynein axonemal heavy chain 9
Alias
DNAH17L|DNEL1|DYH9|Dnahc9|HL-20|HL20
This gene encodes the heavy chain subunit of axonemal dynein, a large multi-subunit molecular motor. Axonemal dynein attaches to microtubules and hydrolyzes ATP to mediate the movement of cilia and flagella. The gene expresses at least two transcript variants; additional variants have been described, but their full length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
