DNAH8

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: DNAH8
  • Official Name: dynein axonemal heavy chain 8
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 1769
  • UniProt: Q96JB1
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a heavy chain of an axonemal dynein involved in sperm and respiratory cilia motility. Axonemal dyneins generate force through hydrolysis of ATP and binding to microtubules. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012].
  • UniProt Summary: Force generating protein of respiratory cilia. Produces force towards the minus ends of microtubules. Dynein has ATPase activity; the force-producing power stroke is thought to occur on release of ADP. Involved in sperm motility; implicated in sperm flagellar assembly (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
