Source: NCBI Gene (ID 1770)
Symbol: DNAH9
Full name: dynein axonemal heavy chain 9
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: CILD40; DNAH17L; DNEL1; DYH9; Dnahc9; HL-20; HL20
Summary: This gene encodes the heavy chain subunit of axonemal dynein, a large multi-subunit molecular motor. Axonemal dynein attaches to microtubules and hydrolyzes ATP to mediate the movement of cilia and flagella. The gene expresses at least two transcript variants; additional variants have been described, but their full length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
