Dynein regulatory complex protein 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the gene DRC8 (previously EFCAB2). This protein is predicted to be a component of the nexin-dynein regulatory complex (N-DRC) which regulates the movement of the cilium/flagellum.

Function

The gene encodes a protein that contains two EF-hand calcium-binding domains although its function has yet to be determined. Alternatively spliced transcripts have been observed.
