UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: DYL1_HUMAN (P63167)
Gene Name: DYNLL1
Synonyms: DLC1, DNCL1, DNCLC1, HDLC1
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: 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. Binds and inhibits the catalytic activity of neuronal nitric oxide synthase. Promotes transactivation functions of ESR1 and plays a role in the nuclear localization of ESR1. Regulates apoptotic activities of BCL2L11 by sequestering it to microtubules. Upon apoptotic stimuli the BCL2L11-DYNLL1 complex dissociates from cytoplasmic dynein and translocates to mitochondria and sequesters BCL2 thus neutralizing its antiapoptotic activity.

Protein Subcellular Localization: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Nucleus. Mitochondrion. Note=Upon induction of apoptosis translocates together with BCL2L11 to mitochondria.
