DNAAF3 dynein axonemal assembly factor 3

Gene ID: 352909, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PCD; DAB1; PF22; CILD2; C19orf51

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is required for the assembly of axonemal inner and outer dynein arms and plays a role in assembling dynein complexes for transport into cilia. Defects in this gene are a cause of primary ciliary dyskinesia type 2 (CILD2). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]
