KIF23 kinesin family member 23

Gene ID: 9493, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CDA3; CHO1; CDAN3; KNSL5; MKLP1; CDAIII; CDAN3A; MKLP-1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of kinesin-like protein family. This family includes microtubule-dependent molecular motors that transport organelles within cells and move chromosomes during cell division. This protein has been shown to cross-bridge antiparallel microtubules and drive microtubule movement in vitro. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
