Kif2a - kinesin family member 2A Gene

Also Known as Kif2

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 84391

Summary

Enables protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule-based movement; mitotic spindle assembly; and regulation of cell migration. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including centriole; nuclear lumen; and sperm principal piece. Predicted to be part of centriolar subdistal appendage and Kinesin complex. Predicted to be active in centrosome; microtubule; and spindle. Predicted to colocalize with spindle microtubule and spindle pole. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with Other brain malformations 3. Orthologous to human KIF2A (Kinesin family member 2A).
