KIF2A kinesin family member 2A

Gene ID: 3796, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HK2; KIF2; CDCBM3

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]
