Entity Detail — Knowledge Graph Node
This page aggregates everything SciDEX knows about DYNC1I2: its mechanistic relationships (Knowledge Graph edges), hypotheses targeting it, analyses mentioning it, and supporting scientific papers. The interactive graph below shows its immediate neighbors. All content is AI-synthesized from peer-reviewed literature.
DYNC1I2 encodes the intermediate chain of cytoplasmic dynein 1, the major minus-end-directed microtubule motor. Critical for retrograde axonal transport, organelle trafficking, and neuronal homeostasis. Dysfunction causes hereditary spastic paraplegia and other transport-related neurodegenerative disorders.
