Kif1b - kinesin family member 1B

Enables several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule motor activity; and scaffold protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to nerve growth factor stimulus; dense core granule cytoskeletal transport; and response to rotenone. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; mitochondrion; and neuron projection. Biomarker of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and synucleinopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A1; carcinoma (multiple); multiple sclerosis; neuroblastoma; and pheochromocytoma. Orthologous to human KIF1B (kinesin family member 1B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
