Summary: Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule motor activity; and microtubule plus-end binding activity. Involved in postsynaptic cytoskeleton organization and regulation of neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane. Located in chromosome, centromeric region. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynapse; and presynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KIF2C (kinesin family member 2C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001277591.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 2, which has a shorter and distinct N-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
