Summary: Predicted to enable dynein intermediate chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including apoptotic process; cell division; and meiotic cell cycle. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; microtubule; and nuclear envelope. Predicted to be part of cytoplasmic dynein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including germ cell; germ line; nervous system; rectal valve cell; and somatic cell. Orthologous to human DYNLL2 (dynein light chain LC8-type 2).
