Summary: Enables several functions, including dynactin binding activity; dynein complex binding activity; and dynein light intermediate chain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including microtubule anchoring at microtubule organizing center; minus-end-directed organelle transport along microtubule; and retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum. Acts upstream of or within microtubule-based movement. Located in Golgi apparatus and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; olfactory epithelium; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominant 2A and spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominant 2B. Orthologous to human BICD2 (BICD cargo adaptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Title: Dynein activating adaptor BICD2 controls radial migration of upper-layer cortical neurons in vivo.
Data suggest that binding of Lis1 to DDB complex does not strongly disrupt processive motility along microtubules; motile DDB complex binds up to two Lis1 dimers; mutational analysis suggested that Lis1 binds directly to the dynein motor domains during DDB complex movement. (Lis1 = lissencephaly 1 protein; DDB complex = dynein-dynactin-BicD2 complex; BicD2 = bicaudal D homolog 2 protein)

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.
