Summary
Enables kinesin binding activity and microtubule binding activity. Involved in anterograde dendritic transport of neurotransmitter receptor complex and vesicle-mediated transport. Located in several cellular components, including ciliary rootlet; neuron projection; and neuronal cell body. Is active in postsynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 25; hereditary spastic paraplegia 10; multiple sclerosis; prostate cancer; and rheumatoid arthritis. Orthologous to human KIF5A (kinesin family member 5A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
