Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 16581 |
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. Predicted to be involved in anterograde dendritic transport of neurotransmitter receptor complex; axon guidance; and synaptic vesicle transport. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. 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.
