Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; apolipoprotein receptor binding activity; and plus-end-directed microtubule motor activity. Involved in anterograde dendritic transport of messenger ribonucleoprotein complex and mRNA transport. Acts upstream of or within motor neuron axon guidance. Located in several cellular components, including axonal growth cone; ciliary rootlet; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; nervous system; nose; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 2 and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human KIF5C (kinesin family member 5C).
