gene: che-3 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable dynein light intermediate chain binding activity and minus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in several processes, including dauer entry; non-motile cilium assembly; and positive regulation of dauer larval development. Located in non-motile cilium. Expressed in I4 neuron; PDEL; PDER; and nerve ring. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy 3. Is an ortholog of human DYNC2H1 (dynein cytoplasmic 2 heavy chain 1).
