Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 209737 |
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 centrosome separation; microtubule-based movement; and mitotic spindle assembly. Predicted to be located in spindle pole. Predicted to be part of kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KIF15 (kinesin family member 15). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit inhibited growth of transplanted tumor cells with increased CD8+ T cells.
