This gene encodes the smallest subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. It is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions,

Part of the dynactin complex that activates the molecular motor dynein for ultra-processive transport along microtubules (By similarity). Together with dynein may be involved in spindle assembly and cytokinesis (PubMed:9722614). {ECO:0000250|Uni
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in muscle and pancreas and detected at lower levels in brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9722614}.
