Description

kinesin family member 5B

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; JUN kinase binding activity; and microtubule lateral binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission; regulation of modification of synapse structure, modulating synaptic transmission; and stress granule disassembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to type II interferon; mitocytosis; and organelle transport along microtubule. Located in several cellular components, including ciliary rootlet; mitochondrion; and phagocytic vesicle. Is active in postsynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KIF5B (kinesin family member 5B).
