Monoclonal Anti-Dynein (Heavy Chain) (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the 440.4 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice. Dynein axonemal heavy chain 1 (DNAH1) encodes for an inner dynein heavy chain. This gene is mapped to the human chromosome location 3p21.1. DNAH1 is expressed in the testis and other ciliated cells. Dyneins are composed of two or three distinct heavy chains, three intermediate chains and at least four light chains.
Immunogen

Biochem/physiol Actions
Dynein has also been implicated in cytoplasmic motile functions, including chromosomal movement, retrograde organelle and axonal transport. It also regulates the endocytic pathway and the organization of the Golgi apparatus. Mutations in dynein axonemal heavy chain 1 (DNAH1) are associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia and multiple morphological anomalies of the flagella (MMAF) that leads to asthenozoospermia and male infertility.
Dynein is a motor protein that regulates the movement of organelles to the ‘minus′ end of microtubules. These motor proteins are also involved in spindle organization, retrograde transport and chromosome movement
Physical form

Ten to fifteen percent of couples are confronted with infertility and a male factor is involved in approximately half the cases. A genetic etiology is likely in most cases yet only few genes have been formally correlated with male infertility.
What is the origin of the forces generating chromosome and spindle movements in mitosis? Both microtubule dynamics and microtubule-dependent motors have been proposed as the source of these motor forces. Cytoplasmic dynein and kinesin are two soluble proteins that power
This study aimed to investigate the genetic pathogeny of multiple morphological anomalies of the flagella (MMAF), which is a genetically heterogeneous disorder leading to male infertility. Nine patients with severe asthenozoospermia caused by MMAF were recruited. Whole genome sequencing and
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection depends on efficient intracytoplasmic transport of the incoming viral core to the target cell nucleus. Evidence suggests that this movement is facilitated by the microtubule motor dynein, a large multiprotein complex that interacts

T cells rapidly reposition their centrosome to the center of the immunological synapse (IS) to drive polarized secretion in the direction of the bound target cell. Using an optical trap for spatial and temporal control over target presentation, we show
