Description

AI-generatedUnreviewed
The dynein intermediate chain family is involved in the structure and function of dynein complexes, which are motor proteins that drive the movement of vesicles, organelles, and other cargos along microtubules. Members of the family play roles in linking dynein to these cargos and to adapter proteins, regulating dynein function. They are essential for intracellular retrograde motility, ciliary motility, and are involved in various cellular processes including ciliogenesis, cell migration, and mitosis. Some members act as negative regulators of signaling pathways and are involved in the assembly of the axonemal dynein complex, critical for respiratory cilia function and potentially in the regulation of cilia function more broadly.
