Description

The DCTN4 (dynactin subunit 4) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.

Dynactin subunit 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCTN4 gene.

Dynactin subunit 4 (DCTN4) is a component of the dynactin complex, which activates the molecular motor dynein. This complex facilitates the ultra-processive transport of cargo along microtubules.

DCTN4 is also known as DYN4, P62.
