Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Kintoun , is a protein that is encoded by the DNAAF2 gene .[ 5] [ 6]
Function
Kintoun is a highly conserved protein involved in the preassembly of dynein arm complexes which power cilia . These complexes are found in some cilia and are assembled in the cytoplasm prior to transport for ciliogenesis .[ 5]
Clinical significance
Mutations in DNAAF2 are associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia .[ 7]
