Protein
Dynein light chain 1, cytoplasmic
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
85 amino acids
Function
Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein complex that are thought to be involved in linking dynein to cargos and to adapter proteins that regulate dynein function. Cytoplasmic dynein acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. May play a role in changing or maintaining the spatial distribution of cytoskeletal structures (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the dynein light chain family.
