This gene encodes an axonemal dynein light chain which functions as a component of the outer dynein arms complex. This complex acts as the molecular motor that provides the force to move cilia in an ATP-dependent manner. The encoded protein is expressed in tissues with motile cilia or flagella and may be involved in the movement of sperm flagella. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014],function:Force generating protein of respiratory cilia. Produces force towards the minus ends of microtubules. Dynein has ATPase activity.,similarity:Belongs to the dynein light chain family.,subunit:Consists of at least two heavy chains and a number of intermediate and light chains.,
