Kif11 - kinesin family member 11 Gene

Predicted to enable plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity and protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within mitotic centrosome separation and spindle assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol; microtubule; and mitotic spindle. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus and spindle microtubule. Predicted to colocalize with spindle pole. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation. Orthologous to human KIF11 (Kinesin family member 11).
