Gene information for DCTN5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID84516
Official gene symbolDCTN5
Full namedynactin 5 (p25)
Aliases,MGC3248,p25,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a subunit of dynactin, a component of the cytoplasmic dynein motor machinery involved in minus-end-directed transport. The encoded protein is a component of the pointed-end subcomplex and is thought to bind membranous cargo. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed but the full-length nature of all of them has yet to be determined. [provided by RefSeq]
