Dynein light chain 2, cytoplasmic (Dynll2)

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 (By similarity). .
