Background information
DCTN6 belongs to the pointed end complex of the dynactin shoulder complex tpgether with the DCTN4, DCTN5 and DCTN6 subunits and ACTR10. DCTN6 contains an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) motif in the N terminal region, which confers adhesive properties to macromolecular proteins like fibronectin. The exact function of this gene is not known.
