Full name: kinesin family member 5C

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: KINN; Khc; NKHC; NKHC2

Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; apolipoprotein receptor binding activity; and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in mRNA transport. Acts upstream of or within motor neuron axon guidance. Located in several cellular components, including axonal growth cone; ciliary rootlet; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; nervous system; nose; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 2 and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human KIF5C (kinesin family member 5C).
