DNAH9
Dynein
heavy chain
9
, axonemal
is a
protein
that in
humans
is
encoded
by the
DNAH9
gene
.
This gene encodes the
heavy
chain
subunit
of
axonemal dynein
, a large multi-subunit
molecular motor
.
Axonemal dynein
attaches
to
microtubules
and
hydrolyzes
ATP
to
mediate
the
movement
of
cilia
and
flagella
. The gene
expresses
at least two
transcript variants
; additional
variants
have been described, but their
full
length
nature
has not been
determined
.
