Dynein intermediate chain 2, axonemal , also known as axonemal dynein intermediate chain 2 , is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DNAI2 gene .[1] [2]
Function The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the dynein intermediate chain family, and is part of the dynein complex of respiratory cilia and sperm flagella.[1]
Clinical significance Mutations in the DNAI2 gene are associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia .[3]
