Also known as dynactin subunit 5

Dynactin 5 (p25) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCTN5 gene.

Gene data

DCTN5
Name
dynactin subunit 5
Type
protein-coding

This gene encodes a subunit of dynactin, a component of the cytoplasmic dynein motor machinery involved in minus-end-directed transport. The encoded protein is a component of the pointed-end subcomplex and is thought to bind membranous cargo. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011].
