Summary: Predicted to enable kinesin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in lysosome localization. Predicted to act upstream of or within axo-dendritic transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including ciliary rootlet; mitochondrion; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex.

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.

Suppressed Reference Sequence(s)

The following Reference Sequences have been suppressed. Explain

NM_001107571.1: Suppressed sequence

Description

NM_001107571.1: This RefSeq was suppressed temporarily based on the calculation that the encoded protein was shorter than proteins from the putative ortholog from cow: KLC2 (GeneID:518136).
