Family Summary
Dynactin is a complex consisting of 10 subunits, involved in a diverse cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. Dynactin 1 is the largest of the subunits that make up the Dynactin complex and binds to the Dynein intermediate chain.

The primary classification of CMKB families is the homeomorphic family, whose members are both homologous (evolved from a common ancestor) and homeomorphic (sharing full-length sequence similarity and a common domain architecture).
