Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Acts upstream of or within retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in alimentary system; hindbrain meninges; submandibular gland primordium; telencephalon; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spastic ataxia 2. Orthologous to human KIF1C (kinesin family member 1C). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a reporter allele are viable, fertile and overtly normal and display normal motor-dependent retrograde Golgi apparatus-to-endoplasmic reticulum transport.
