basic FUNCTION
| playing a role within the chaperone-mediated sequential protein folding and trafficking pathways that are required for the cytoplasmic preassembly of dynein arm motors and their subsequent import into the motile ciliary axoneme |
|
is essential for assembly of dynein arms |
|
protein needed for assembly of both outer and inner arm axonemal dyneins in respiratory cilia, a hallmark of the axonemal dynein assembly co-chaperones |
|
is likely actively transported in cilia and recycled back to the cell, in a fashion consistent with involvement in IFT-based transport |
|
is involved in cytoplasmic assembly of dynein arms |
|
is also involved in the preassembly of ODAs and IDAs in sperm cells |
|
is probably a cytoplasmic preassembly factor and/or might be involved in the transport of dynein components to the ciliary axonemes |
