DYNC1I2 encodes a member of the dynein intermediate chain family. The Dynein Cytoplasmic 1 Intermediate Chain 2 is a non-catalytic component of the cytoplasmic dynein 1 complex, which acts as a retrograde microtubule motor to transport organelles and vesicles. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 10. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
