Description

Kinesin-like protein at 61F

Gene Summary

Enables microtubule binding activity and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in several processes, including microtubule cytoskeleton organization; plus-end directed microtubule sliding; and positive regulation of Golgi to plasma membrane protein transport. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; fusome; and spindle. Part of kinesin complex. Colocalizes with centrosome. Is expressed in several structures, including glial cell; gonad; head epidermis primordium; sensory nervous system primordium; and ventral nerve cord. Used to study microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation. Orthologous to human KIF11 (kinesin family member 11).
