Summary: This gene encodes a protein that is a component of the dynein-2 microtubule motor protein complex that plays a role in the retrograde transport of cargo in primary cilia via the intraflagellar transport system. This gene is ubiquitously expressed and its protein, which localizes to the axoneme and Golgi apparatus, interacts directly with the cytoplasmic dynein 2 heavy chain 1 protein to form part of the multi-protein dynein-2 complex. Mutations in this gene produce defects in the dynein-2 complex which result in several types of ciliopathy including short-rib thoracic dysplasia 15 with polydactyly (SRTD15). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

Title: Combinations of deletion and missense variations of the dynein-2 DYNC2LI1 subunit found in skeletal ciliopathies cause ciliary defects.
Whole-exome sequencing identified two novel mutations of DYNC2LI1 in fetal skeletal ciliopathy.
Title: Whole-exome sequencing identified two novel mutations of DYNC2LI1 in fetal skeletal ciliopathy.
Our findings indicate that DYNC2LI1 mutations are associated with a wider clinical spectrum than previously appreciated, including EvC, with the severity of the phenotype likely depending on the extent of defective DYNC2LI1 function.
Title: Biallelic mutations in DYNC2LI1 are a rare cause of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome.
depletion of DYNC2LI1 induced altered cilia morphology with broadened ciliary tips and accumulation of intraflagellar transport complexes (IFT-B) complex proteins in accordance with retrograde IFT defects.
Title: DYNC2LI1 mutations broaden the clinical spectrum of dynein-2 defects.
DYNC2LI1 is essential for dynein-2 complex stability and that mutations in DYNC2LI1 result in variable length, including hyperelongated, cilia, Hedgehog pathway impairment and ciliary IFT accumulations, causing short rib polydactyly syndrome.
Title: Mutations in DYNC2LI1 disrupt cilia function and cause short rib polydactyly syndrome.

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.
