Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein 1 complex that are thought to be involved in linking dynein to cargos and to adapter proteins that regulate dynein function. Cytoplasmic dynein 1 acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. May play a role in changing or maintaining the spatial distribution of cytoskeletal structures Promotes transactivation functions of ESR1 and plays a role in the nuclear localization of ESR1
Tissue Specificity
Ubiquitous.
Cellular Localization
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Nucleus. Mitochondrion. Note=Upon induction of apoptosis translocates together with BCL2L11 to mitochondria
