Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Dynein regulator LIS1; LIS1, N-terminal; WD domain, G-beta repeat; G-protein beta WD-40 repeat; WD40 repeat; WD40/YVTN repeat-like-containing domain superfamily; LisH; LIS1 homology motif; and WD40-repeat-containing domain superfamily. Is an ortholog of C. elegans lis-1. In C. elegans, lis-1 is involved in several processes, including chiasma assembly; microtubule-based process; and organelle localization.
