DNAL1

Dynein light chain 1, axonemal is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the DNAL1 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
DNAL1 is a component of outer is_associated_with::dynein arms, which contain the molecular motors for ATP-dependent is_associated_with::cilia movement.

Clinical significance
Mutations in the DNAL1 gene are associated with is_associated_with::primary ciliary dyskinesia.
