Dynein axonemal light chain 1, (LC1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DNAL1 gene.[5][6]

Function

LC1 is a component of outer dynein arms, which contain the molecular motors for ATP-dependent cilia movement.[5][6]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the DNAL1 gene are associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia.[7]
