Background:  Dyneins are multisubunit, high molecular weight ATPases that interact with microtubules to generate force by converting the chemical energy of ATP into the mechanical energy of movement. Cytoplasmic or axonemal Dynein heavy, intermediate, light and light-intermediate chains are all components of minus end-directed motors; the complex transports cellular cargos towards the central region of the cell. Axonemal dynein motors contain one to three non-identical heavy chains and cause a sliding of microtubules in the axonemes of cilia and flagella in a mechanism necessary for cilia to beat and propel the cell. DNAH17 (dynein, axonemal, heavy chain 17), also known as DNEL2, DNAHL1 or FLJ40457, is a 4,485 amino acid member of the dynein heavy chain protein family. Expressed in testis, DNAH17 contains thirteen LRR repeats and three TPR repeats. DNAH17 is a force generating protein of respiratory cilia, and is thought to be involved in sperm motility through sperm flagellar assembly.
