About KIF2A

Cytogenetic location: 5q12.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:62,306,206-62,391,025 (from NCBI)

This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants), 290 orthologues, 41 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 17.8), brain (RPKM 16.2) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a plus end-directed motor required for normal mitotic progression. The encoded protein is required for normal spindle activity during mitosis and is necessary for normal brain development. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
