Kif2a - kinesin family member 2A

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; microtubule binding activity; and microtubule motor activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule-based movement; mitotic spindle assembly; and regulation of cell migration. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell differentiation; cell division; and nervous system development. Located in sperm principal piece. Is expressed in central nervous system and dorsal root ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 3. Orthologous to human KIF2A (kinesin family member 2A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
