KIF21A kinesin family member 21A

Gene ID: 55605, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FEOM1; CFEOM1; FEOM3A

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the KIF4 subfamily of kinesin-like motor proteins. The encoded protein is characterized by an N-terminal motor domain a coiled-coil stalk domain and a C-terminal WD-40 repeat domain. This protein may be involved in microtubule dependent transport. Mutations in this gene are the cause of congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles-1. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
