Kif18a - kinesin family member 18A Gene

Also Known as gcd2; B130001M12Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 228421

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Acts upstream of or within nuclear division; regulation of microtubule Cytoskeleton organization; and seminiferous tubule development. Located in kinetochore and mitotic spindle midzone. Is expressed in central nervous system; gonad; and retina. Orthologous to human KIF18A (Kinesin family member 18A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
