DNAH2 dynein axonemal heavy chain 2

Gene ID: 146754, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DNHD3; DNAHC2; SPGF45

Summary

Dyneins are microtubule-associated motor protein complexes composed of several heavy, light, and intermediate chains. The axonemal dyneins, found in cilia and flagella, are components of the outer and inner dynein arms attached to the peripheral microtubule doublets. DNAH2 is an axonemal inner arm dynein heavy chain (Chapelin et al., 1997 [PubMed 9256245]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
