| Tissue Specificity | High expression in heart, liver, brain and pancreas.moderate in placenta, skeletal muscle and kidney.low in lung, prostate, testis, small intestine and colon. Isoform 1 expression is up-regulated in 64% hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. |
| Function | Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein 1 complex that are thought to be involved in linking dynein to cargos and to adapter proteins that regulate dynein function. Cytoplasmic dynein 1 acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. |
