Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 16594 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables kinesin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within axo-dendritic transport. Located in ciliary rootlet; cytosol; and neuron projection. Part of kinesin complex. Used to study nonsyndromic deafness. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in SPOAN syndrome. Orthologous to human KLC2 (kinesin light chain 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display outer hair cell loss and hearing loss with age. [provided by MGI curators] |
