Abstract excerpt
Dyneins have been implicated in left-right axis determination during embryonic development and in a variety of human genetic syndromes. In this paper, we study the recently discovered mouse dynein 2 light intermediate chain (mD2LIC), which is believed to be involved in retrograde intraflagella transport and which, like left-right dynein, is expressed in the node of the mouse embryo. Cells of the ventral node of...
