Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell motility. Located in ciliary basal body. Expressed in amphid neurons; ciliated neurons; head neurons; sensory neurons; and tail neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 33. Is an ortholog of human GAS8 (growth arrest specific 8).
Predicted to enable dynein heavy chain binding activity. Involved in intraciliary retrograde transport and non-motile cilium assembly. Located in cilium. Expressed in neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy. Is an ortholog of human DYNC2LI1 (dynein cytoplasmic 2 light intermediate chain 1).
