Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule-based movement and mitotic spindle assembly. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in microtubule cytoskeleton and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-cell stage embryo; alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KIFC2 (kinesin family member C2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and fertile with no apparent defects in development or behavior. [provided by MGI curators] |
