Primary Identifier | MGI:1277971 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 232943 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables kinesin binding activity and microtubule binding activity. Involved in sperm mitochondrial sheath assembly. Acts upstream of or within axo-dendritic transport. Located in several cellular components, including ciliary rootlet; mitochondrion; and motile cilium. Is expressed in deep cerebellar nucleus; retina; and vestibular nucleus. Orthologous to human KLC3 (kinesin light chain 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele appear normal and exhibit normal fertility with no defects in sperm. Another allele shows increased serum alkaline phosphatase levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
