Summary
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and spectrin binding activity. Involved in mitotic spindle organization. Located in centrosome and kinetochore. Part of dynactin complex. Biomarker of synucleinopathy. Orthologous to human DCTN2 (dynactin subunit 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
