| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Involved in cilium assembly. Acts upstream of or within epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement and ventricular system development. Located in cilium. Is expressed in several structures, including choroid plexus; floor plate; genitourinary system; liver; and spleen. Used to study hydrocephalus. Orthologous to human KIF27 (kinesin family member 27). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice are small and die by 8 weeks and exhibit hydrocephalus, rhinitis and otitis media. [provided by MGI curators] |
