Description

dynein, axonemal, heavy chain 8

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable dynein intermediate chain binding activity; dynein light intermediate chain binding activity; and minus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in cilium movement involved in cell motility and outer dynein arm assembly. Predicted to be located in axoneme. Predicted to be part of outer dynein arm. Predicted to be active in sperm flagellum. Is expressed in brain and thymus primordium. Used to study spermatogenic failure 46. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 46. Orthologous to human DNAH8 (dynein axonemal heavy chain 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
