Source: NCBI Gene (ID 57576)
Symbol: KIF17
Full name: kinesin family member 17
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: KIF17B; KIF3X; KLP-2; OSM-3
Summary: Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in anterograde dendritic transport of neurotransmitter receptor complex and cell projection organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within microtubule-based process; protein-containing complex localization; and vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in microtubule cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle B and kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in cilium; microtubule cytoskeleton; and neuron projection.
