DYNC2LI1 (dynein, cytoplasmic 2, light intermediate chain 1), also known as LIC3, D2LIC or CGI-60, is a 351 amino acid cytoplasmic protein belonging to the dynein light intermediate chain family. DYNC2LI1 may function as a motor for intraflagellar retrograde transport and in cilia biogenesis. The cytoplasmic dynein complex 2 may be composed of a DYNC2H1 homodimer and a number of DYNC2LI1 light intermediate chains. DYNC2LI1 exists as five alternatively spliced isoforms.
