KIF23 kinesin family member 23 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 9493)
Symbol: KIF23
Full name: kinesin family member 23
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: CDAN3A; CHO1; KNSL5; MKLP-1; MKLP1
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of kinesin-like protein family. This family includes microtubule-dependent molecular motors that transport organelles within cells and move chromosomes during cell division. This protein has been shown to cross-bridge antiparallel microtubules and drive microtubule movement in vitro. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
