This gene encodes a 42.6 kD subunit of dynactin, a
macromolecular complex consisting of 10-11 subunits ranging in size
from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and
cytoplasmic dynein. It is involved in a diverse array of cellular
functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal
movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome
movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit is
present in 8-13 copies per dynactin molecule, and is the most
abundant molecule in the dynactin complex. It is an actin-related
protein, and is approximately 60% identical at the amino acid level
to conventional actin.1) Sugarbaker, D.J., et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 105(9):3521-3526(2008)
