Kif20a - kinesin family member 20A Gene

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including microtubule bundle formation; midbody abscission; and regulation of cytokinesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cleavage furrow; intercellular bridge; and midbody. Predicted to be part of Kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in microtubule and nucleus. Is expressed in 4-cell stage embryo; brain ventricular layer; genitourinary system; and stomach. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in restrictive cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human KIF20A (Kinesin family member 20A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
