|
| Function |
Force generating protein of respiratory cilia. Produces force towards the minus ends of microtubules. Dynein has ATPase activity; the force-producing power stroke is thought to occur on release of ADP. Involved in sperm motility; implicated in sperm flagellar assembly (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium axoneme {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed primarily in trachea and testis, 2 tissues containing axonemal structures. Also expressed in lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9256245}.
